Piment d`Espelette is a special spice that is nifty and versatile. The plant is cultivated in the southwestern pat of France and the cultivation has a tradition that is hundreds of years old. Piment d`Espelette gives every dish the special kick.

Piment dꞌ Espelette-products - the diversity of a unique spice:

The piment dꞌ Espelette or Espelette pepper is a piquant variety of pepper that originated on the American continent. The spice has also been cultivated in the European Basque country since Columbus. Over time, the new climatic conditions have ensured that the original variety has developed into a unique spice that gives many products a special flair.

Piment dꞌ Espelette is a very special spice!

Originally, this type of chilli comes from America. However, since the 16th century it has been successfully cultivated in Europe, more precisely in the French part of the Basque Country. The town of Espelette, there, gives the name to the European variety. As the conditions on the two continents are naturally different, the characteristics and taste of the chillies also change slightly. Above all, the different acidity of the soil plays a decisive role here. The European result is a very tasty and aromatic variety, with a subtle pungency that is in no way inferior to the American original. As is the case with other regional foods, the name "Piment dꞌ Espelette" is a protected designation of origin.

The fiery Pepperworld conclusion:



The piment dꞌ Espelette is a special type of chilli, not only because of its protected origin in the French Basque Country, but also because of its history. This chilli originates from the American continent, but has also been cultivated in Europe for centuries. The changed soil conditions naturally also change the chillies slightly, which is reflected in the taste, for example. Here you can buy not only the fiery powder and other allspice dꞌ Espelette products, but also the seeds or even the whole plant. The allspice dꞌ Espelette products from Pepperworld can be used similarly to other chilli spices, although the French chillies are comparatively mild.
