Espelette Chilli Pepper PDO/Powder, 250g

Hand-gathered, dried and powdered Espelette chilli pepper; use it everywhere, in both sweet and savoury dishes, Espelette chilli imparts fantastic colour and flavour, is uniquely aromatic and slightly spicy and only ten farmers in the region hold the secret of how to produce it. Scoville Scale: 4/10 (warm).  

Deviliously invigorating, its spicy and fruity flavour, its warm and sharp aroma reflect the light-hearted ambiance of the Basque country. It’s a speciality of Southwestern French cuisine and you’ll find it in every dish, omelettes, salads, bread and even chocolate. It gets its name from the delightful little village of Espelette tucked away at the foot of the Basque mountains. Although it’s considered as one of the emblems of the Basque country, it was originally brought back from South America by Christopher Colombus in the 16th century.
