As it is with Champagne, only specific regions of France can claim title to Piment D'espelette for this chile pepper. The color is yellow to orange with hints of red, producing flavors a bit stronger than paprika with a light smoky fruit aroma. This chile can have a heat unit level between 1,000 to 9,000 on the Scoville heat units scale. We recommend storing this in an air-tight container, as this chile oxidizes quickly. For this reason, we only sell this item in 4-ounce air-tight, resealable packages. Always welcome in classic French dishes with mayonnaise, eggs, cheese, sauces, spice rubs, or savory and sweet dishes
