The warmth of pepper and the freshness of basil share this jar. Haranea makes its organic Espelette Pepper & Basil Jelly in the Basque Country from Piment d’Espelette PDO, sweet pepper, lemon, and basil. The gentle, fruity heat of the Espelette pepper meets the fresh, herbaceous sweetness of the basil in a bright, well-balanced preserve with a mild warmth. Spoon it over fresh goat’s cheese on toast as an aperitif, or serve it with an Ossau-Iraty, a Basque sheep’s milk cheese.

The Maker
A pepper’s heat lasts only a moment, but its warmth is the work of a whole season. Haranea is a farm at the foot of Mondarrain peak in Itxassou, one of the ten Basque villages of the Piment d’Espelette PDO area. In 1998, Christian Aguerre settled on his grandmother’s farm, later joined by partners Gilles Billaud and Martine Bouquerot. Alongside poultry and Basque pigs, the farm grows some 12,000 certified organic Espelette pepper plants, without synthetic chemicals. In 2015, its Piment d’Espelette PDO won a gold medal at the Concours Général Agricole. Its powder, its purée, and its pepper and basil jelly share a gentle, fruity warmth, as welcome on a cheese board as in everyday cooking.
