From the moment of seedtime, until the complete process, at La Huerta
de Fresno, we followed the highest controls of quality and traditional hand work that require our natural products. The fundamental steps that they make our exceptional peppers, are:
|

The Seed plot: after the terrain preparation and the selection of the best seeds from the previous year, and it´s come to planted, in a manual way, covering the seed with two layers, one of sand and another with "orujo", to favor the growth of the plant. While the plants grow, other wild are taken next to those of the peppers, this has to be made by hand, because the use of any herbicide (chemical pesticide) would destroy the seed plot. The the humidity and temperature control are very important, reason why the irrigation (pulverized) is always made at the same hour, and the plants are protiled against the frosts. When the plants acquire a size of between 15 and 20 cm, they move to its new location.

Planting: The soil, which has been treated during the previous months, adding to it some organic fertilizer, is ready to receive the pepper plants. Humidity is still kept, and the plants are handled carefully. After several months of extreme care, in September – October it’s harvest time. The plants are ready for harvesting. We also do it by hand.

In the Oven: The process of roasting peppers requires special skill, and getting to the exact point is only possible thanks to a long time dedication. Afterwards, we proceed to the manual peeling of peppers. The skin is peeled away, and when they are clean we put them into jars. We do it carefully in order no to form bubbles. We also add a drop of the only preservative product, in this case, natural lemon juice. The process continues in the autoclave to get sterilization and to get it vacuum-packed.
