Fire-Roasted Shepherd peppers
For over 70 years, Longo's has brought people together through a shared love of great food. Our annual Fire-Roasted Shepherd Pepper Event continues that tradition with one of Longo's most anticipated seasonal flavours.
Locally grown and expertly fire-roasted in-store by our Produce team, Ontario Shepherd peppers deliver a sweet, smoky flavour that's perfect for sandwiches, antipasto platters, pizza, pasta and salads.
Available for a limited time, these seasonal favourites are roasted fresh and ready for pickup at participating Longo's locations while supplies last.
