Espelette

Pick-up only at our retail nursery 5311 Scotts Valley Dr, Scotts Valley, CA during the week of March 21-28.

This treasured chile of the Basque is renowned for its robust and slightly smoky flavor, which is celebrated in art, cuisine, and festivals. In the Basque Country, the Espelette pepper has become a cultural and culinary icon, achieving controlled-name status, a tribute to its unique qualities and heritage. Chefs world over use the dried powder in a myriad of ways. Our favorite is to sprinkle some into hot chocolate or on top of vanilla ice cream. The powder is slightly spicy.

Plants are in 3" containers and are usually about 6" tall.
