Description

The Espelette Gorria Pepper is an iconic traditional variety, prized for its elongated red fruits with a subtle fragrance and a strong, yet not overly spicy, flavor. It is used both fresh and dried, in powder form or in strings for gourmet decorations.

Easy to grow in warm, well-drained soil, it thrives in full sun, in open ground and is also suitable for growing in an aquaponic system.

🌶️ A unique condiment for your kitchen

Espelette pepper is perfect for adding flavor to stews, grilled dishes, sauces, marinades, or even old-fashioned hot chocolate. Its sweet, warm flavor adds richness to all your recipes.
