Espelette Chilli Pepper PDO by Terre Exotique

Terre Exotique’s Espelette chilli pepper PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) is a mildly spicy, aromatic powder from the Basque region. Protected by PDO status, it is produced traditionally by just 10 farmers. Harvested in late summer, the peppers are dried and ground, offering flavours of tomato and hay. It’s a key ingredient in Southwestern French dishes, from eggs to chocolate, and is used in Basque specialties like pipérade and chicken basquaise.

  • FRANCE

Terre Exotique collaborates directly with hundreds of expert farmers and producers worldwide to source the finest peppers, spices, and salts. The company was founded by Erwann de Kerros, a seasoned traveler from Brittany, who was inspired to explore the world of specialty spices after tasting pepper at the Penja plantation in Cameroon.
Committed to sustainability, Terre Exotique partners with farmers to protect natural habitats and support local communities by ensuring a stable income. The company prioritizes environmentally friendly packaging, using metal tins or glass jars instead of plastic. These containers effectively preserve the flavours and aromas of the spices by shielding them from sunlight, keeping the ingredients fresh for longer.
