History of the Riojan Joys

The Riojan joys are peppers that look similar to Piquillo peppers, but they are devilishly spicy; although Ignacio Vela, from the J. Vela canning company, prefers to speak of "a light, very pleasant spiciness." In his town, Mendavia, they have a tolerance for spiciness different from that of ordinary mortals.

In 1945, Ignacio's grandfather, Joaquín Vela, was the first entrepreneur to bottle the local variety of spicy pepper known as "villano", as if it were a Piquillo pepper: roasted over wood and peeled.

The pepper soon gained great popularity in La Rioja, Álava, and Navarra –especially in the Ribera region– where it remains ubiquitous in bars to accompany potato tortillas and blood sausage skewers. It is also commonly served in strips –with olive oil and garlic– as a side dish for spoon dishes, or whole, stuffed with minced meat.
