Originally from Central America, Espelette pepper is a variety of Capsicum annuum traditionally grown in the Basque Country. It is appreciated for its red fruits with a slender profile measuring 7 to 14 cm long.
Used to enhance dishes with its hot flavor of force 4 on the Scoville scale, Espelette pepper is dried beforehand for long storage. A non-hardy plant, its cultivation is very similar to that of the tomato. Similar to peppers, Espelette peppers are grown outdoors, the crop is annual, all the plants are replanted every year.

In the Basque Country, the cultivation of Espelette peppers has developed in an exceptional natural environment that has been protected since the 17th century.
