French Espelette Pepper Powder

Piment d’Espelette or Espelette Pepper is a fragrant chili pepper that is cultivated in the French commune of Espelette. Espellette pepper has a very moderate level of heat, similar to paprika, and adds a wonderful sweetness with a mild kick to grilled meat, vegetables, egg dishes, fish and seafood. Originally used medicinally, it is now a key element of Basque cuisine, where it has gradually replaced black pepper.
