Collection: <tc>Piment d'Espelette</tc>

Chili peppers have been cultivated in the French Basque Country (Pays Basque) for centuries. Just as on the Spanish side, where the farmers from Lodosa In Pays Vasco, while traditionally growing the piquillo or Pikilloko piper, the French Basque farmers remain loyal 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 knowing that, you would go for this delicious pepper without hesitation; with its unique aromas, it is a must in every kitchen.

Nicolas Darthayette started his Ferme Okilaua in 2019. In 2024, he bought Ferme Conchoinea. We sold the Espelette from this farm for years under the brand name Segida. Nicolas supplies the original Espelette under the name Okilaua in the packaging familiar to us.
