Not Only the Oldest City, but the Only City That Grows the Datil

Saint Augustine was founded in 1565, and the datil pepper has been in Minorcan kitchens here for generations, flavoring the chowders, pilaus, and pepper sauces that define Old City cooking. It grows in this town and almost nowhere else on Earth.

Our recipe is one of those family recipes. We did not invent the datil tradition. We just bottled ours.
