Discover the Flavor of Datil: The Story Behind Minorcan Mike’s

Some flavors are bold. Some are memorable. And some are so unique they become part of a place’s identity. The Datil pepper is one of those flavors and at Minorcan Mike’s, it’s at the heart of everything we do.

What Makes the Datil Pepper So Special?

If you’ve never tried a Datil pepper, it’s not quite like anything else. It has a bright, fruity sweetness followed by a slow, warm heat that builds without overpowering. It’s flavorful first, spicy second which is exactly why it works so well in everything from sauces to sweets.

The Datil pepper also has deep roots in St. Augustine, making it more than just an ingredient. It’s a piece of local history and culture, grown and celebrated right here in our community.
