Although one might think these peppers are the same at first glance, Piquanté Peppers are scientifically identified as a Capsicum baccatum while Cherry Peppers are considered a Capsicum annuum, meaning that these peppers are a different species to one another. Cherry Peppers are more commonly available and can be grown in a wider variety of geographical areas than Piquanté Peppers. Piquanté Peppers were first discovered by the founder of Peppadew International in the mid 90’s.
PEPPADEW Piquanté Peppers are carefully picked and deseeded by hand, before being pickled in the signature sweet and tangy PEPPADEW brine.
