Mediterranean Context
In Mediterranean cuisine, heat is not meant to dominate.
Hot peppers are used to create contrast. A small bite of heat wakes the palate, balances rich dishes, and brings energy to simple meals. For this reason, pickled hot peppers are commonly placed at the table rather than inside the recipe.
Preserving peppers in brine allows households to enjoy this controlled intensity throughout the year without relying on heavy sauces or artificial flavorings.
The Character of Mediterranean Hot Peppers
Selected for Balance
Peppers are chosen not for extreme spiciness, but for a clean, manageable heat level suitable for daily consumption.
Crisp and Vibrant
The brining process maintains firmness and color, ensuring a fresh bite rather than softness.
Traditional Pickling Approach
Balanced Acidity and Salt
Mare Nostrum applies a Mediterranean-style pickling method that preserves crunch while keeping acidity and heat in harmony.
Pasteurized for Stability
Pasteurization ensures shelf stability and food safety while maintaining traditional flavor character.
