    Milk Street’s top pick: “an amazing balance of sweet and charred smokiness.” Whole Florina peppers packed with red wine vinegar, sea salt and grape must. Workman: “far and away, the best jarred roasted red peppers I’ve found… plump and meaty,” and they don’t fall apart. Ozug calls Divina her favorite for romesco.

    Chosen by
    • Milk Street tasting panel
    The premium jar in Milk Street’s test and a close third overall: “the most flavor and complexity of all,” with a meaty texture tasters loved in a composed salad. Whole Greek Florina peppers. A few tasters caught a slight bitter note.
