When it comes to Basque cuisine, the Espelette pepper reigns supreme. Straddling the border between France and Spain, nestled between land and sea, the culinary color story of Basque is as bright as this spicy lady known as Espelette. Smoky and sweet, with mild hints of heat, she'll leave you coming back for more. Perfect sprinkled on an omelette or for when channeling your inner Julia Child while you make a 'Poulet Basquaise.'
