La Maison espig

The chili variety that made the small village of Espelette famous is from the French Pyrenees, the Basque Country. It is an integral part of Basque cuisine and has found its way into the spice cabinets of home and professional chefs around the world. Espelette chili gives food a warm kick without, however, a burning sensation in the mouth. It also has a hint of sweetness.

Nutmeg has a very recognizable taste and aroma. It seasones many classics such as béchamel sauce, mashed potatoes and crumbs. Nutmeg is also great for seasoning desserts like apple pie and drinks like mulled wine.
