Espelette Pepper Powder - AOC

Espelette pepper powder (piment d’Espelette) is a prized Basque chili powder made exclusively from peppers grown in the French commune of Espelette under strict AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) regulations. With a bright red hue and warm, fruity aroma, this chili powder has a gentle heat and a sweet, slightly smoky flavor. It's an essential component of Basque cuisine, often used in place of black pepper to season meats, eggs, seafood, and sauces.

Only peppers grown, harvested, and dried within the designated AOC zone can bear the Espelette name, ensuring authenticity and tradition in every jar. This powder is made from 100% Espelette peppers, sun-dried and then ground, with no additives or preservatives—just pure, regional flavor.
