Only sourced from the mountainous Espelette region of France, this chili pepper powder is brighter, fresher and fruiter than your typical paprika. It has a gentle warmth that won’t overwhelm the palate as well as a distinctive sweet, fruity taste—which sets it apart from the many chile peppers that lead with earthiness. The peppers grow from May to August before being harvested, separated and cleaned by hand. They are dried in the open air as it develops its wonderful flavor then gently crushed in the oven to a vibrant powder.
These are grown in Itxassou using sustainable and organic farming methods and fall under Europe’s AOP designation. This means that it must be grown and cultivated in from the town of Espelette or the surrounding towns.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
With a sweeter, fruiter flavor than paprika, we love how this powder adds complexity to roasted potatoes and fries and an extra kick when tossed with marcona almonds. Sprinkle atop grilled fish and seafood like octopus or shrimp, or substitute in for the sweet paprika for our Piperade with Fried Eggs.
