Piparras are one of the great Spanish culinary treasures — and one of the least known outside the Basque Country. These small, slender green peppers are grown in the Basque region, harvested young for their characteristic mild heat and delicate flavour, then pickled in vinegar brine that gives them their distinctive tangy finish.
They are the defining ingredient in the Gilda — Spain’s most iconic pintxo, created at Bar Casa Vallés in San Sebastián in the 1940s: a single skewer of piparra, anchovy, and olive that captures everything wonderful about Basque bar culture in one bite. Beyond the Gilda, piparras excel alongside grilled fish, scattered over salads, served with charcuterie, or eaten straight from the jar.
