Piment d'Espelette

Chili pepper has been grown in the French Basque Country (Pays Basque) for centuries. As on the Spanish side, where the farmers from Lodosa  in Pays Vasco traditionally grow the piquillo or Pikilloko piper, the French Basque farmers remain faithful to their 'piper' or 'gorria', the Capsicum annuum var gorria. The taste of Piment d'Espelette takes you back to the taste of yesteryear. Even without that knowledge you would blindly go for this delicious pepper, with its unique aromas a must in every kitchen.
