Espelette pepper owes its name to the charming village of the same name, nestled at the foot of the Basque mountains. It was here, around 1650, that farmers began to cultivate this red pepper brought back from Mexico. Very quickly, it became the emblem of Basque culture and gastronomy, especially since it was traditionally dried on the facades of houses in the region. In 2000, it was awarded an AOC (Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée), which was supplemented in 2008 by an AOP (Appellation d’Origine Protégée). This designation requires its producers to respect specifications that define its production area and rules guaranteeing the quality of the product.
The Basques claim their culture and emblem every year during the Es pelette pepper festival! This event takes place on the last weekend of October, after the harvest. Men’s choirs, pelota matches, traditional dances, concerts, tastings… The Espelette pepper festival is not to be missed for lovers of festive Basque atmosphere!
