Who makes it

Pili Echarri is sixty and has a market garden in Sartaguda, by the Ebro, that she worked with her husband. He died in 2020. Pili thought about renting it out.

Ainhoa and Pili Echarri set up a roaster in the tool shed

Her daughter Ainhoa is thirty-three and was a lab technician in Pamplona. She asked her mother to give her a year. That year they set up a small roasting room in the tool shed.

Ainhoa Echarri carries peppers with two neighbours between gardens in the Ribera

Now they roast and peel by hand the piquillos from their own garden and from two neighbours' gardens. Ainhoa says the Ribera has more and more greenhouses and fewer and fewer market gardens. She wants hers to stay a market garden.

How it is made

  1. Pili Echarri and a neighbour pick the red piquillo peppers by hand in September

What we are allowed to say

They are not peeled with water or caustic soda, they are peeled by hand. That is why they keep the taste of the fire and their flesh whole.
