Peppadew Sweet Piquanté Peppers

Peppadew is a global brand that specializes in a variety of pickled products, most famously their Piquanté Peppers. The brand traces its origin to South Africa in the mid-1990s when a farmer discovered a unique, pepper-like vegetable growing in his garden, which was later hybridized and trademarked.

The manufacturing process primarily takes place in the Limpopo province of South Africa, where the peppers are grown, harvested, and pickled to ensure the signature 'sweet and spicy' flavor profile that the brand is known for. The facilities are highly specialized to handle the specific core-removal and pickling process required for these delicate vegetables.

Owned by the South African food group Peppadew International, the brand has grown into a major international exporter, with its products found in markets across Europe, North America, and Australasia. It remains a proudly South African entity, managing the proprietary seeds and processing techniques that keep the Peppadew name exclusive in the gourmet food market.
