Within its range Destination Piment (Destination Chilli peppers), this company creates many recipes based on chilli peppers from Espelette for you to sample. Although called Espelette, these peppers probably come from Mexico. Adopted by this village and a few others in the area, they are harvested, dried against house fronts and finally flavour most Basque cuisine. Fresh, dried or in their own juice, they spice up both the taste and colour of dishes. Red or green, they belong to the colours of the Basque country as the Basque country belongs to them.
