Rich, velvety, deeply sweet. Produced by the Naoumidis family at their stone-built Pepper Mill in Agios Panteleimon, Amyntaio, Florina — a family operation since 1972, recognised as one of the 10 best food producers in Greece at the HELEXPO food festival and featured on national Greek television (ERT 3, Alpha TV).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Naoumidis family farms 80 acres of Florina peppers at 610 metres altitude, at the foot of Mount Vorra, between Lakes Vegoritida and Petra. No pesticides. Fertilised only with free-range animal manure. Planted and harvested by hand. The same organic Florina peppers used in their Filetopiperia are reduced here into a dense, smooth spread — all the natural sweetness of the Florina variety, concentrated, silky, and versatile in a way that whole roasted peppers cannot be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Florina Peppers?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Florina pepper is a PDO-recognized variety grown exclusively in the Florina region of northern Greece. Its thick flesh, natural sweetness, and low water content make it one of the few varieties that reduces beautifully — concentrating flavour rather than turning bitter or watery.
