Piment d’espelette is more commonly seen as a dry powder, but we love this paste for its vibrancy and robustly juicy flavor. Emblematic of French Basque cuisine, the espelette pepper is a medium to medium-hot pepper, with a very round, fruity flavor. It has a bit of that “spicy” flavor initially, but with a heat that doesn’t linger. The fruity flavor that it’s known for is sort of a cross between fruity Fresno chilies and earthier dried guajillo or ancho chiles, so it’s very flexible and can work well with pretty much any cuisine. A bit of vinegar keeps it bright in flavor (and acts as a preservative) without overpowering the flavor.

Not sure how you’d use it?
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
HOW TO USE
Use it anywhere you want a pop of fruity, slightly earthy pepper flavor and a nice burst of heat. It’s delicious out of the jar—try it as a condiment at the table for roast chicken or vegetables and grilled meats. Or incorporate it into a marinade. We also love it mixed into a dip. Try using sour cream, crème fraîche, yogurt, whipped feta or warmed goat cheese, which makes a spread that’s wonderful with crudités, smeared on bread or mixed into cooked grains—or replace the peppers in our Whipped Feta Dip with the puree.
