They come from northern Spain, from the Navarre region, where they’re grown and even carry a denomination of origin label. Piquillo peppers have a smoky and sweet flavor, and can be used in many ways, like for example: stuffed with goat cheese, in sandwiches, stews, rice, and as an appetizer or tapa to have with bread.
