Piment d'Espelette AOP (Espelette Spice)

Ferme Fagaldia Piment d'Espelette AOP (also called Espelette spice) is a prized chile pepper grown exclusively in the Basque region of southwestern France. This hand-harvested pepper is sun-dried and ground into a fine powder, offering a warm, fruity heat and rich aroma that’s far more nuanced than traditional chili powders. Protected by AOP (Appellation d'Origine Protégée) status, it reflects the specific terroir and traditional methods of this unique region.

With its balanced spice and subtle smokiness, Piment d'Espelette is perfect for seasoning meats, eggs, seafood, and vegetables. Use it in place of black pepper, sprinkle it over grilled fish, or blend it into vinaigrettes and sauces for a sophisticated Basque twist.
