The Pimento pepper is large, heart-shaped sweet pepper variety originating from Spain. With minimal heat (100-500 SHU), it’s prized for sweet, aromatic flavor. Most famous as red stuffing in green olives, pimentos are also used to make pimento cheese, a Southern U.S. delicacy. When roasted, they develop rich, slightly smoky flavor perfect for spreads and sauces. High in vitamins A and C, pimentos are both nutritious and delicious. The thick walls hold up well to roasting and pickling.
