Dona Pimentinha Salted Sweet Pepper Pulp 370g

Description

This characteristic pepper paste from the Azores is produced in Candelária, São Miguel Island, using peppers known locally as Pimenta Vermelha or Pimenta da Terra. The peppers are hand-cut, seeded, and ground in traditional mills, then placed in clay salt pans following time-honored methods. With a marked slightly sweet flavor, this seasoning is essential to Azorean cuisine and culture, used in stews, fried dishes, soups, sausages, and as a spread on cornbread.
