The Piment d’Espelette is a cherished chilli pepper from the Basque region of France, renowned for its mild heat and distinctive flavour. Maturing to a vibrant red, these peppers are traditionally dried and ground into a fine powder, offering a sweet, fruity taste with subtle smoky undertones. With a Scoville rating of up to 4,000 SHU, they provide a gentle warmth, enhancing dishes without overwhelming heat. Integral to Basque cuisine, Piment d’Espelette is used in a variety of dishes, including the classic piperade. This Capsicum annuum variety thrives in the unique climate of Espelette, where it’s harvested in late summer and celebrated annually during the Espelette Pepper Festival.

Scoville (SHU): Up to 4,000
Origin: Espelette, France
Time to Fruit: Late summer harvest

Seeds Quality

Every seed we sell is grown at the ChilliChump homestead, so we control the whole process from sowing to harvest. Seeds are handpicked from healthy plants, processed using methods we’ve refined over the years, and germination-tested before they reach you.

Keeping our seed true to type is something we work hard at. The only way to truly isolate a chilli variety, though, is to grow it with no other chilli plant within a quarter of a mile to a mile, and no grower with a collection can do that. So we don’t claim 100% purity. The chance of a stray cross is small. If something grows out differently to what you expected, please get in touch. We’d rather hear about it than not.

You can read what other growers think in our reviews, and the ChilliChump YouTube channel follows these plants through every season, so you can see exactly where your seeds come from.
