Piment d'Espelette
Like fine French wine, Piment d'Espelette has its own Appellation Controlee, which requires that the chilies come from around the town of Espelette in the Basque region of France.The plant, which was originally imported from Mexico, was introduced to France around the 16th century. While the chilies were first used medicinally, they became popular for preparing condiments and for preserving meats and ham. Piment d'Espelette is now a cornerstone of Basque cuisine on both the French and Spanish sides of the border. It has gradually replaced black pepper as the key ingredient in piperade.
Piment d'Espelette has a Scoville level of approixmately 1500, which makes it a mild chili. It has a wonderful clean, fruity flavor that is difficult to describe and impossible to duplicate. Piment d'Espelette is quite versatile and can work in a number of cuisines from Spanish to French to Italian. This is another great tasting chili that should be found in every cook's spice cabinet.

Why Buy Your Spices at Silver Cloud
Estates?
Why buy spices online when they are so readily available at your local store? The answer is quality and price. The spices sold at your local store are often a year or two old. As spices age, they loose much of their flavor. Silver Cloud's spices are always fresh, never old. Our products are also an excellent value. When you need spices, click on Silver Cloud Estates for the freshest products at great prices.
