Ceres Organics Grilled Peppers in Oil 190g
Ripe red peppers chargrilled and preserved in an organic infusion of sunflower and extra virgin olive oils with garlic, wine vinegar, Italian herbs, and a hint of chilli. Ready to eat straight from the jar.
Ceres Organics Grilled Red Peppers in Oil are made from whole certified organic red peppers (56.1% of the jar) that have been chargrilled before being packed in a blend of organic sunflower oil and extra virgin olive oil with garlic, wine vinegar, parsley, basil, and a touch of chilli pepper. The chargrilling process softens and sweetens the peppers, adding a subtle smokiness and collapsing their texture into silky, tender strips that hold the oil and herb marinade beautifully.
These are the kind of peppers that make a cheese board look effortless, turn a simple pasta into something genuinely good, or get eaten straight from the jar with a fork before you've decided what you're cooking.
BioGro certified organic. B Corp certified brand. Made in Italy. 190g jar, approximately 8 serves at 25g per serve.
