Pimento CO2 extract

The pimento (often spelled pimiento) is also called the cherry pepper. It measures 3-4 inches long and 2-3 inches side. Pimiento translates to "pepper" from Spanish.

It is bright red and shaped like a heart. You might be most familiar with the pimento as the famous pepper used to stuff Olives.

This pepper is not overly spicy, being rather mild and sweet to the taste. You usually find pimento peppers fresh or pickled. The spice powder, paprika, is made from dried pimento peppers.

These sweet pimento peppers are also the familiar red stuffing found in prepared Spanish green olives. The pimento was originally hand cut into small pieces and hand stuffed in olives to complement the strong flavor of the olive, however this ancient method is very time intensive. In the industrial era the cut pimento was shot via hydraulic pump through the olive getting rid of the pit. For ease of production, pimento is sometimes pureed and formed with the help of a natural gum (such as sodium alginate or guar gum) into strips. This allows the olive stuffing to be completed by a machine and increases the availability of the olives by lowering their cost of production. However, guar (an annual legume mostly produced in India) may inadvertently make the olives less accessible to consumers with Peanut allergies, as those individuals may have a cross-reaction to the guar. This leaves sodium alginate as a more universal choice.
