Piment d`Espelette Powder 50g

Aromatic Piment d`Espelette AOP from the sun-drenched hills of the French Basque Country.
Many gourmet chefs and lovers of spicy dishes around the world appreciate this variety of chilli.
Piment d`Espelette is aromatic and fruity with a fine acidity and a gentle heat with a subtle smoky note.

With piment d`Espelette, the focus is on the versatile flavour and not the heat. This makes it a real all-rounder in the kitchen: ideal for seasoning fish dishes, grilled meat, refining soups and sauces and anything else that can take a savoury but gentle heat. Used as a pepper substitute, it gives dishes a very special flavour.
Piment d`Espelette is also an important ingredient in traditional Basque dishes such as piperade and axoa d`Espelette.
