Just the right amount of heat
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 🥰🥰🥰💫💫💫

Delicious. I use it all the time.
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.

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.

Espelette Pepper powder from France
This has great flavor, and can be used in many dishes that would typically use Paprika. I mainly purchased this to use in making a salmon salad recipe. I like the bag it's packaged in, it's the thicker "vacuum bag" plastic, so I can take a bit out, and reseal it to keep it fresh longer.

The Pepper you wouldn't forget
It's The Best!!! It enhances your food with flavor. It's so appreciating to the palate. I used in on savory as well as sweet when I'm just looking to get that bite on... Work it on your salads, soups, veges, rice dishes, eggs, etc... Add to drinks for that... Hmm! Hmm! Hmm! next level... Purchase it and make it your go-to from the spice rack... Just don't be afraid... I actually heard about it from a chef on NPR a Sunday morning while jogging...

A nice chili addition to my other spices
I bought this specifically to make a chili seasoned pork shoulder. The sweetness of this spice combined nicely with some smoky paprika and hot cayenne.

Sweet, Spicy Color for Rubs and Egg Dishes
I LIKE this product for its spicy, rounded red pepper flavor--so much so that I repurchase it and keep it on hand. There is a sweetness as well as a little bit of heat. By no means cayenne; milder than spicy black peppercorns, less of a bitter undertone than paprika. Just right in a poultry or fish rub, or to add a bit of color to scrambled or fried egg dishes.

THE BEST
If you're thinking of trying this - JUST DO IT. You will not regret it! It is such a unique pepper that you cannot find elsewhere and adds such a perfect flavor that you didn't realize that's what you were missing. We mainly use it on steaks. The best way I can describe it (which still doesn't do it justice!!) is a mix of smoked paprika, pepper, and something very very slightly sweet that I cannot put my finger on.

Geschmacklich extensiv (schwach)
Der typische Geschmack des Piment d'Espelette ist leider nicht vorhanden. Entweder ist das Produkt zu alt oder minderwertige Qualität.
