Padron Peppers Story
The name of Padron Peppers is associated with the name of the council Padron, located in Galicia (a northwest region of Spain). Spanish monk brought Padron Peppers back from South America in the 16th century. The Monks grew the peppers in the garden for their convent, in the small village of Hebron, within the small district of Padron. More than 400 years later these peppers are no longer grown by monks but by local farmers.
Generation after generation, Padronians have adapted the traditional methods introduced by the monks and embraced the advancement of technology to offer a superior quality product. . The unique taste of the original Padron Peppers is deeply connected with the village characteristics such as the soil, weather, and traditional farming techniques. Padron peppers are small green peppers that are truly one of a kind with a mildly sweet taste, and intense flavour where occasionally some peppers have a spicy ‘kick’. This unique intense flavour can only be found in the “Original Padron Peppers”.
