- ABOUT US -

Pimientos de Padrón, are delicious heirloom peppers hailing from the

Galician town of Padrón, in north western Spain. In Galicia and

throughout Spain, these peppers are served as a tasty tapa. They are

simply pan fried in olive oil and sprinkled with coarse salt. That's

all there is to it. This simple tapa is so delicious that once you try

these peppers you will be hooked. Pimientos de Padrón have a taste all

their own. Nine out of ten peppers are sweet but that last one can be

hot or picante. For this reason eating pimientos de padron is sometimes

described as playing Spanish Roulette.

Here at Galizia Farms, my husband and I have been growing these tasty

peppers since 2008. On our summer trips to visit family in spain, we

would make our way to Padrón to have our fill of Pimientos. We enjoyed

them so much and we that wished we could have them all summer long at

home in the states. That's when my husband had the idea of growing them

ourselves. It took several years of trial and error but in 2011 we had

first crop. As we shared the peppers with our friends and neighbors,

they were such a hit that we introduced them to local restaurants.

Recently we expanded into New York City area and we have a Michelin

Star restaurant as a loyal customer.

We love these peppers and we know you will, too. If you have had them

before, you know how good they are, and if you are just curious, try a

pound! From our Farm we bring you authentic Pimientos de Padrón! Buen

provecho! Enjoy!
