choice whole
yes, as you suggest, I think the "al natural" just means without added flavouring like herbs, garlic, spices, etc., but I think it might be omitted in English - "plain" would sound odd - and if there are other types the label would say "choice whole peppers with herbs".
Also, if they're "envasado al seco" they're not in brine, surely?

or perhaps "finest whole" or "Finest quality whole". I am not sure whether "extra" here is simply descriptive and unquantifiable or whether it's a specific categoiry. I see "extra quality" is used for these peppers in Google, but that seems pretty vague to me too.
