Bipertegia Grocery store in the heart of Espelette

In the heart of the village of Espelette, the birthplace of the coveted spice, Véronique and Gilbert Darthayette, producers of Espelette AOP chili pepper, run a shop selling chili peppers and spicy condiments. This delicatessen shop has recently had a "makeover", warmer, brighter, highlighting the orange robes of Espelette AOP chili pepper powder, fresh and dried Espelette AOP chili pepper strings, mustards and old-fashioned chili mustards, the transparencies of chili pepper jellies, the "deep reds" of chili pepper puree...

When you enter the store, you feel "at home" with the desire to discover the whole range, to taste the salty or spicy sweet recipes, from the toasted (ideal toasted as an aperitif) to the praline spread with dark or milk chocolate and Espelette pepper.

If you meet Gilbert there, he will tell you about his job as a chili pepper grower, his passion for this red spice, his obsession with the rigorous and meticulous work of sorting the chili peppers, one by one, at each stage of processing, to obtain a chili pepper of optimal quality.

At Bipertegia, the customer who enters the store is above all a "friend" that they like to meet again every year.

In the shop you will feel the love of the profession of Espelette pepper producer, the concern for rigorous work, the desire to share with you the recognition of a quality pepper, the joy of meeting you again.

For your health, avoid eating too fatty, too sweet, too salty
