Description Espelette Pepper PDO Capsicum annuum Net weight: 40g / 1.41oz Origin: France Intensity on the Scoville scale: 4 (considered "hot" pepper). This famous pepper, called EZPELETAKO BIPERRA in Basque, is grown in the Basque country. It is the only French pepper to have obtained a PDO. Fame is rarely compatible with quality improvement, and it is regrettable that many mediocre peppers exist under this designation. The one we offer you is simply exceptional. The producer has paid very careful attention to the soil, the plant, and the fruit, and has made selective sorting, which certainly yields less, to obtain peppers with even more aroma.
