🌶️ Filetopiperia — Organic Greek Fire-Roasted Red Pepper Spread
Organic Florina Peppers • Fire-Roasted on the Grill • Hand-Peeled • No Preservatives • 9.2 oz
Florina is a small city in northern Greece, near the Albanian border, where the climate and soil produce a red pepper unlike any other — the Florina pepper. Naturally sweet, thick-walled, and deeply flavored, it’s the pepper that Greek grandmothers have been roasting over open flames for generations. Filetopiperia is that tradition in a jar: organic Florina peppers, fire-roasted on the grill, hand-peeled to preserve every layer of smoky sweetness, and packed in extra virgin olive oil without preservatives or artificial additives.
Open the jar and the aroma tells you everything — charred skin, sweet pepper, warm olive oil. This is what Mediterranean cooking smells like.
Why Florina Peppers?
Not all red peppers are equal. Florina peppers are a PDO-recognized variety grown exclusively in the Florina region of northern Greece. Their thick flesh, natural sweetness, and low water content make them ideal for roasting — they caramelize beautifully over an open flame without becoming mushy, developing a deep, smoky sweetness that bell peppers from a supermarket simply cannot replicate.
