Do not settle for humdrum ground black pepper. Spice up your scrambled eggs with the vibrantly red yet subtly piquant pepper of Basque Country, Piment d'Espelette.

Zhuzh up your hummus.

Known as Ezpeletako biperra in Basque, this is a dried red chili powder from the French Basque region. A protective designation of origin mandates the peppers only come from in and around the town of Espelette, in the province of Labourd, and are grown, harvested, and prepared according to strict guidelines. The peppers are hand-harvested in late summer and early autumn, strung by hand to dry in the sun, and dried further in wood-burning ovens prior to being ground into powder.

"I first ordered this special pepper about 4 years ago. I now use it on everything from eggs to vegetables, to fish and meat. Also excellent on Mac and cheese! Seriously, get some Espelette pepper and enjoy." - Edward C., celebrating the versatility of this sensational spice

Many chefs claim there is no substitute for the complex flavor of the spice. Many. Chef Gerald Hirigoyen, in his cookbook Pintxos: Small Plates in the Basque Tradition, calls for Piment d'Espelette in many of his recipes, including Basque Fries, Crispy Shrimp, and the Caramelized Onions with Idiazábal Cheese pintxo. The book is an invaluable resource if you're looking for recipes for pintxos that are a bit more labor intensive but worth the effort.

Tuna, espelette pepper, piquillo peppers

"I bought these both for myself and as Christmas gifts. We haven’t used them yet but are excited to do so. Might do salad nicoise with some tuna. I was very pleased with the ordering and shipping. Jars came super wrapped and protected. Having retuned from a fall trip to northern Spain and Donostia where I loved the tuna I am happy to have this recourse to wonderful food."

OK

"Ordered several items, of the products we’ve tasted, this one is acceptable, neither good or bad the others so far very low quality products, I’m from San Sebastián/Donostia the products are not what I’m accustom to, very proud of our basque foods, these are a poor representation, please do not judge by these products"

Spicy wins the day

"This was a gift to my daughter-in-law. She is a fantastic chef. She makes a lot of vegan dishes from scratch. She made a spicy Indian dish with eggplant and your peppers. The dish was a huge success and the peppers were the star of the dish. They added favour a smooth heat that blended well they other spices and herbs."
