Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
I attribute my fascination with the French city Biarritz and the Basque region to an incredible food shop called Maison Arostéguy. Although I have not yet visited the store, there's no doubt in my mind that it's truly a treasure chest of delectables. When the shop first opened in 1875, it specialized in high-end commodities from the colonies that were trendy during that era. For five generations, the same family has managed the shop and preserved its dedication to fine foods from around the world. The store also highlights many delicacies from the Basque region including piment d'Espelette, black cherry jam, sheep's milk cheeses, and a savory mixture of spices and fleur de sel.
Currently, I am addicted to their purée of piment d'Espelette. Piment d'Espelette is a deep red pepper that's cultivated in Espelette, a charming Basque village. The pepper is said to have become a culinary icon in the region. And, in June 2000, it became an AOC product. I use the purée with grilled and roasted meats. Suggestions on where to purchase products from Maison Arostéguy can be found after the jump.
Where can one purchase items from Maison Arostéguy in the United States?
Currently, Formaggio Kitchen is the only shop that's importing foods from Maison Arostéguy. I highly recommend the purée of piment d'Espelette. On Formaggio Kitchen's website, a 100 g jar sells for $9.95.

This amazing spice brought life to a tasty borscht I made this weekend with an assortment of farmers market fresh veggies. Moderatly pricey but you use very little to season large amounts...
