Organic Piment d`Espelette Powder 50g

Highest quality: Flavoured Piment d`Espelette AOP from organic farming - hand-picked, gently dried, from the sun-drenched hills of the French Basque Country.

Many gourmet chefs and lovers of spicy dishes around the world appreciate this variety of chilli. Piment d`Espelette is ideal for giving fine culinary creations a moderately spicy, fruity and slightly smoky flavour.

With piment d`Espelette, the focus is on the versatile flavour and not the heat. This makes it a real all-rounder in the kitchen: ideal for seasoning fish dishes, grilled meat, refining soups and sauces and anything else that can take a spicy but gentle heat. Used as a pepper substitute, it gives dishes a very special flavour.
Piment d`Espelette is also an important ingredient in traditional Basque dishes such as piperade and axoa d`Espelette.
