⭐PIMENT D'ESPELETTE⭐
Available now!
After a very lengthy hunt we finally have been able to track down authentic piment d'espelette!
This chile has denomination of origin protection and is highly regulated in everything from its growth, care, harvesting, and even processing. All these procedures are mainly done by hand and the origin of the product is very specific to 10 commune villages in the southeast side of Basque country closest to France. There are cheaper varieties but they are NOT the true espelette pepper unless it comes from this region. All these factors make it an extremely rare and hard to procure item in its true form.
The flavor has fruity and slightly berry like notes. There is a subtle smokey aspect as well with earthy undertones and a gentle warming heat that lingers in a pleasant way. It often falls around the 4,000 SHU heat zone. It is truly a unique and delicious handcrafted variety I'm the world of chilies.
Available on request at the register.
