OUR STORY
Peppadew International is a story of passion and dedication. It all started over 25 years ago when the discovery of a bright red pepper led to the incorporation of Peppadew International. Having identified the Piquanté Pepper as a new variety of fruit, a signature flavour was carefully crafted and PEPPADEW® presented the world with its first Sweet Piquanté Pepper. Since then, PEPPADEW® has sought to maintain this first to market approach and has introduced a number of exclusive and unique offerings, including the Sweet GOLDEW® and our brand-new PEPPADEW® Bites – a premium sumptuously stuffed, crumbed pepper.
While the PEPPADEW® product range has seen significant growth, expansion has been equally evident in its global reach and what started as a modest production facility in the hills of Limpopo, South Africa, has grown into a global food brand. Years of ingenuity has not only led to unprecedented culinary experiences along the way, but also to the development of manufacturing operations of the highest standards. It’s because of these standards that we are proud to supply PEPPADEW® products to some of the world’s largest retailers, leading chefs and food manufacturers, in over 25 countries around the world.
From humble beginnings, a small farming industry has been transformed into a trademark taste that now exists on shelves and menus all over the world, the inimitable taste of the PEPPADEW® brand.
