Freshona Pimientos del piquillo con ajo

Freshona Pimientos del Piquillo con Ajo (Piquillo Peppers with Garlic) is a private-label product specifically developed for the German discount supermarket chain Lidl. The Piquillo pepper is a variety traditionally and originally grown in Northern Spain, particularly in the Navarre region around the town of Lodosa.

While the brand Freshona is part of the extensive international portfolio of the Schwarz Group, these specific peppers are typically sourced and processed in Spain to maintain the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) quality, though some production for the Spanish market may also involve Spanish-owned farms in other regions like Peru. The brand Freshona itself was registered by Lidl Stiftung & Co. KG and is used across Europe for their preserved and canned fruit and vegetable lines.

Ownership of the brand lies with the Schwarz Group, one of the world's largest retailers. Based in Neckarsulm, Germany, the group is a private family-owned entity controlled by the Dieter Schwarz Foundation. This structure allows the company to maintain strict oversight of its supply chain, ensuring that products like these roasted peppers meet specific quality and value standards for their global customer base.
