Our Story
Peppadew® International began over 30 years ago with the discovery of the bright red Piquanté Pepper. From that moment, we introduced the world to our first Sweet Piquanté Pepper and have continued to grow as a trusted global brand.
What started as a small operation in Limpopo, South Africa, now supplies retailers, chefs, and food manufacturers in more than 25 countries. Our focus is simple: quality, innovation, and flavor that enhances menus worldwide.
