The peppers originate from the Florina region of northern Greece, known for its fertile soil and ideal growing conditions. Florina peppers are long, slender, and deep red when mature. They have a tender but thick flesh, a glossy skin, and a distinct, sweet flavor. They are naturally sweet, with a vibrant flavor that intensifies when roasted. The peppers are fire-roasted, then peeled by hand and packed in a marinade.
Mediterranean Artisans is a brand that sells Florina Red Peppers, a specific type of sweet red pepper grown in northern Greece.
