Espelette Pepper Powder from Southwest France 0.53 Oz

Very nice, and subtle heat. I use just a good pinch in my dishes.

I first heard about this spice from my man Gordon Ramsey (for those unfamiliar with his YouTube presence, he does wonderful cooking videos on there. No yelling, no criticism, just beautiful recipes from a man who clearly loves to cook. He’s like the Bob Ross of food. In some videos he even teaches his kids how to cook, which is quite charming). I tried tracking it down at several local stores and couldn’t find it anywhere, so I turned to Amazon and was able to find this bottle for a reasonable price. It’s decently powerful, so this little bottle should last long enough that the price doesn’t become a hindrance. It’s flavor profile is pretty strong, so you don’t need a ridiculous amount, and it’s slightly hotter than paprika but a little less so than cayenne. I actually find myself using just this with salt and pepper on my sausage, steaks, and burgers. When I am working with pork chops I’ll add a little paprika as well. In any case, it’s become my go to seasoning. I even read somewhere that in France, they use this exclusively in place of black pepper.

Good quality; gives a mild heat - less than red pepper flakes but more interesting than black pepper. Fits a niche in my cooking.

This is a lovely spice, with a subtle spiciness. I wouldn’t say too spicy, as my kids have no issues eating this. We enjoy dusting on steak, before grilling. It’s a tad pricey for the amount you get.

Delicious! I've never used this type of spice before and I like spicy food but only if it's very mild and this is just the right amount of heat without the burn. It is a lot smaller that I thought it would be so either use very little or be selfish and make food for yourself! :) This spice not only adds a little heat to your food but also color. Baked chicken, to me, looks so gross unless is covered in bread crumbs or cheese etc. this spice also helps hide the chicken look and gives it a nice color. Topped with some greens it looks so tasty. The one thing I can compare it to is tajin but without the sour notes. If anyone's familiar with it. So delicious just wish there was more of it. Sample provided for my evaluation and honest review.

Such a great product but although it is 2024, I received the 2022 harvest. Sad. Can’t return. Be aware.

Just a great addition to the plate!

I can’t rave enough about this pepper! It’s delicate yet gives a touch of silky heat! Add a sprinkle on top of any sauce when playing if you’re looking for more heat without being hot! Such a different dimension of flavor 🥰🥰🥰💫💫💫
