Pimenton is a mild chilli pepper from South America which Christopher Colombus brought back to Queen Isabella of Castile.

Ever since the 14th century, Pimenton is grown in Spain in the Vera region, at the heart of the Sierra de Gredos mountain range. This region has an exceptional temperate and humid microclimate. This Pimenton de la Vera has been granted Protected Designation of Origin, which is a guarantee of excellent quality.

Pimenton de la Vera comes from the Capsicum Annuum bush which grows around a metre high. The fruits are carefully hung up to dry, then smoked using green oak wood for two weeks. There are only 12 producers of Pimenton de la Vera who have this specific know-how.

Its taste of chorizo and its dark red colour are typically Spanish and brighten up all traditional Spanish dishes from paëlla to tortilla.

Ingredients: Paprika, sunflower oil (1%)

This ingenious Cajun Mix from Louisiana is simply delicious with potatoes, fish and shellfish!

The French Cajuns are the descendants of the Acadian people, the French from Nova Scotia who were deported to Louisiana by the English during the tragic "Great Upheaval " in 1750. They set up in "bayous" in the Mississippi river, strange and inhospitable marshlands crawling with wild animals, as this was the only place they were allowed to stay.

This mix of spices and aromatic herbs is the ingenious creation of the French who learned how to survive in these hostile lands. It is made from thyme, pink onions, paprika, hot chilli pepper, cumin, black pepper and makes a delicious stock for shellfish, releasing strong, spicy, and very aromatic notes.

Cajun cuisine is a melting pot of French, Creole, African and Spanish cuisine and is one of America’s most varied and richest cuisines, with famous traditional dishes like Jambalaya gumbo made with meat, shrimps or sausages, all just as tasty as each other when prepared with Cajun Mix.

Ingredients: Paprika, coriander, mustard, turmeric, fennel, black pepper, cumin, garlic

It gets its name from the delightful little village of Espelette tucked away at the foot of the Basque mountains. Although it’s considered as one of the emblems of the Basque country, it was originally brought back from South America by Christopher Colombus in the 16th century. Its Protected Designation of Origin status means that all the farmers must comply with the specifications that set out the geographical area where the chilli pepper can be produced and certain rules which guarantee the quality of the chilli pepper.

Its aromas of tomato, hay and pepper are delicate and subtle, almost fleeting. Harvested between the end of August and October, the red fruit is oven-dried, where they are turned every 6 hours, then festoons of the peppers are hung outside local houses to dry out further before being ground down to a powder.

Deviliously invigorating, its spicy and fruity flavour and its warm and sharp aroma reflect the light-hearted ambience of the Basque country.

It’s a speciality of Southwestern French cuisine that you’ll find it in every dish, omelettes, salads, bread and even chocolate.

Originally from the Middle East, cumin has appeared as a smoking spice or used to prepare food. It is of the same family as parsley.

Cumin comes from the fruit of the plant. Before maturity, it is given cuts to its stems and bunches. Suspended a few days, then beaten like wheat, the harvested fruit is then dried in the sun. It has a bitter but warm taste, is slightly sweet, and has a very strong aroma.

Cumin is a great addition to chili con carne, hummus, or a lamb Parmentier.
