Piment D'Espelette

Regular price $12.95

Step into the heart of the Basque Country with Piment d’Espelette, a spice that captures the sun-drenched hills of Southern France in every pinch. This Appellation d'Origine Protégée (AOP) treasure is no ordinary chili powder—it’s a sensory journey steeped in history and tradition, lovingly crafted by Bipia in the charming town of Larressore.

Its mild heat dances playfully on the palate, balanced by a warm, fruity sweetness that transforms any dish into a masterpiece. 

Passed down through generations, its production begins with hand-selected Gorria peppers, sun-dried in the crisp autumn air, then roasted and ground to perfection. The result? A pure, additive-free powder that’s as authentic as it is versatile.

How to Use:
Let Piment d’Espelette add its magic to your kitchen. Its delicate spice elevates everything from quiches and omelettes to rich braises and marinades. Sprinkle it atop soups or grilled meats for a burst of colour and flavour, or surprise your guests with its fruity warmth in chocolate desserts and shortbread.
