The peppers are grown in the French community of Espelette in Pyrénées-Atlantiques.

The peppers are found wherever you do in this village. You can see the pepper drying from balconies and local shops selling them. While a lot of foods are flavored with these peppers.

The Espelette is graded 4,000 on Scoville scale. It is then seen as only mildly hot. Although a lot of people say that it actually tastes more sweet than hot. Alongside this, the Espelette peppers are high in vitamin C, B6, K and antioxidants.

The taste of this pepper is quite unique, As it tastes fresh and a little bit fruit with little hints of heat running throughout it. The spice of this pepper won’t overpower your dish, but you will detect a slight smoky taste.

If you use dried or powdered Espelette pepper, then this pepper tastes similar to paprika. The smokiness and sweetness is a little more intense, but it still isn’t overly hot.

Those who grow this kind of pepper, follow specific rules that have been set by the trade union of Espelette peppers. These peppers are treated as much as wine growers treat their grapes.
