In French, Piment D'Espelette translates to “pepper of Espelette” traditionally produced around the town of Espelette in the Basque region of southern France. This pepper has a robust sweet spicy taste and has gradually replaced black pepper in everyday Basque cooking.
We also have a locally grown version called Piment De Ville from Mendocino County, California. Grown from the same seeds of piment d'Espelette, it is wonderfully spicy.
