Espelette paprika is one of the rare agricultural products that can benefit from the AOC controlled designation of origin, recognized by the INAO (National Institute of Designations of Origin) in 1999. It was brought from Mexico and introduced in the Nive Valley ( France ) by a Basque navigator who accompanied Christopher Columbus. At first it was used in medicine. In 1650, it began to be planted in Espelette and was soon used as a condiment to preserve meat and ham. The cultivation area delimited by the denomination includes a dozen Basque municipalities: Espelette, Cambo les bains, Larressore, Souraïde, Aïnhoa, Itxassou, Halsou, Jatxou, Ustaritz, Saint Pée sur Nivelle.
