History or how it all began for us

In 1997 we discovered the simple but explosive flavour of Pimientos de Padron on the Canary Island of Lanzarote. With some Spanish friends we sat down to lunch and they thought a local dish of Pimientos de Padron would be a shock to our system – how wrong could they be!

On future visits to Lanzarote, our Spanish friends would tease us about how many we could consume in such a short space of two weeks. These fruits became addictive and eventually we tracked down a packet of seeds in Spain during 2000.

In 2001, we decided to trial the packet of seeds and to our great surprise we managed to develop 30 very healthy plants that gave us platefuls of Pimientos during the summer of 2001.

We are proud to say that some six years later we are looking at producing our largest crop yet despite the good old English weather. In addition, we are selling our lovely pimientos into restaurants across the United Kingdom.

Anyone can buy direct from us through our contacts page on this web site.

This is truly a sign that our English Pimientos are just as good as the original Spanish.
