A breath of Basque warmth runs through this Provençal oil. Domaine Salvator infuses an extra virgin olive oil from Haute-Provence with Espelette pepper, the celebrated PDO pepper of the French Basque Country, prized for its warm, aromatic heat, to make this Espelette Pepper Olive Oil. Fragrant notes of sweet pepper come first, then a gentle, lingering warmth. Spoon it over fried or scrambled eggs and a Basque piperade, or brush it over grilled octopus or squid.

The Maker
Some olive trees have watched the centuries go by, and one family has watched over them for five generations. Since 1902, the Pinatel family has tended these centuries-old trees at Domaine Salvator, a family-owned producer of organic olive oils in the heart of Provence. Every oil comes from olives grown in the family’s own groves and is made using traditional methods. The result is a range of organic extra virgin olive oils prized for their rich aromas and authentic Provençal character, as much at home in everyday cooking as in fine cuisine.
