🌶️ Specialty Spotlight: Local Jimmy Nardello Peppers 🌶️

Now available by preorder through our Nashville warehouse, Jimmy Nardello peppers are a chef favorite celebrated for their exceptional sweetness, rich flavor, and incredible versatility.

This treasured heirloom pepper traces its roots to Ruoti, Italy, where Angela Nardello preserved the family’s prized seeds before immigrating to Connecticut in 1887. Today, the Jimmy Nardello is considered one of America’s most beloved pepper varieties, known for its thin skin, nearly seedless interior, and outstanding performance in the kitchen.

Perfect for roasting, grilling, sautéing, or simply blistering with olive oil and sea salt, these peppers bring depth and sweetness to late-summer menus.

Proudly grown by Bloomsbury Farm and Cul2vate Farm.

📍 Available by preorder at FreshPoint Nashville. Contact your sales representative to reserve yours today!
