Sometimes original product names are synonymous to a segment name, for example Nespresso. That also happened to Ramiro, the long sweet pointed pepper from De Ruiter, which is experiencing a new lease of life after twenty successful years. Ramiro was the segment name, although the official segment name is Dulce Italiano type. "But," states Marja Vijverberg (Communication / Marketing Manager DOOR), "There is only one real Ramiro!"
Ramiro will soon celebrate its twentieth anniversary and continues to be successful. In 1996 this variety started out with a trial of ten plants, now in 2015 the area of Ramiro covers more than twenty five acres in Northwest Europe.
Characteristic of Ramiro is not just the typical pointed shape and crunchy skin, but most especially the real sweet taste. Ramiro gives a brix of over 8, which is clearly higher than normal blocky peppers. And that difference shows in the taste! Ramiro is appreciated by young and old for its taste; even young children enjoy this tasty pepper as a healthy snack. Ramiro is suitable for use on the barbecue, in grilled and cooked dishes as well as raw in salads or simply as a snack. Ramiro guarantees a tasty Mediterranean flavour!
Healthy
Pepper is in the top ten most healthy vegetables, as is evidenced by a Dutch newspaper in an article of January 7th 2015. Within the pepper family, Ramiro stands out, with a very high content of vitamin C and Folic acid but also vitamins A and E. This variety proves that healthy and delicious go well together.
