This variety is a unique local cultivar adapted to the conditions of the island of La Palma. The plant belongs to the species Capsicum annuum and is recognized as an agricultural heritage asset, with the local governing body, Cabildo Insular de La Palma, engaged in supporting its conservation and distribution.
The fruits are described as small red peppers that are consumed both fresh and dried. A characteristic feature is the sweet or mild taste, due to which the variety is traditionally used in the gastronomy of the Canary Islands, in particular for preparing "mojo palmero" sauce, where the dried fruits require prior soaking.
