Espelette Pepper

Heir of an ancient heritage, the Piment d’Espelette is the fruit of loving attention and exclusively hands-on methods of production. Planted in the Spring, picked by hand as soon as the fruit turns red, from August to the 1st of December. The process, from the seed to the final powder, follows very strictly laid down processes. Cultivated in the fresh air, on small plots, the production is respectful of the environment ; irrigation and the use of pesticides are strictly regulated.
