Product Spotlight: Jalapeno Slices

Have you ever wondered how hot peppers get their spiciness rating? The Scoville Scale ranks the amount of sugar and water it takes to counteract the capsaicin in a pepper. The more a taste tester needs, the higher the heat index. Jalapenos average 2,500 to 8,000.

Mt. Olive Jalapeno Slices pack a punch without being overwhelming. That ensures they’re the right chili pepper when you crave a balance of heat and flavor.

Sliced Jalapeno Peppers Add Bite

Every jar of Mt. Olive Sliced Jalapenos starts with ripe, juicy peppers grown locally in Mt. Olive, North Carolina. Onion and garlic complement the freshly harvested pepper.

Meanwhile, white vinegar and salt establish a tart, salty brine that’s worth saving. Use it in marinades or add it to a spicy Bloody Mary for Sunday brunch.

With three jar sizes available - 12 and 64 ounces or 32 ounces for deli style - keep our sliced jalapeno peppers on hand year-round. Our pickled pepper slices are great as a salad or taco topping. They add a bit of crunch to appetizers, sides, and entrees.

Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread Muffins: Honey and jalapenos combine for a sweet, spicy combination that excites your taste buds. Add the salty bite of cheddar for a three-way punch of flavor. Serve these with breakfast, bowls of chili, or on their own as a filling mid-afternoon pick-me-up.

Spicy Coleslaw: Our version of coleslaw blends the creaminess of salad dressing with the heat of jalapeno slices. Try our favorite slaw in pulled chicken or pulled pork sandwiches.

Jalapeno Stuffed Cheeseburgers: Treat yourself to a flavorful burger where the cheese bubbles out of the meat. Plus, crispy chili peppers inside are a delightful addition. We love these burgers with a honey wheat bun, so that the salt and spice become balanced with a touch of sweetness.
