Ibarra pepper
A very local product
From Ibarra, where else?
Ibarra pepper –piparra in Basque– is a type of native chili pepper that is mostly grown in Ibarra. It’s small, long and pointed, and is characterised by its taste. It can be savored in many different ways.
The pepper’s path until becoming famous
Ibarra has been a farming area since ancient times. On the 13th century it was mostly txakoli vineyards. Asparagus and especially sweet pepper were famous too. But once they started to disappear, on the 16th century, the chili pepper gained importance, which has persisted until today.
How to eat Ibarra peppers
The last years pepper producers, confectioners, deli clercks and butchers have revamped the industry, creating new products with a different touch: including Ibarra pepper.
