AOC since the year 2000, the chilli pepper was introduced in the Espelette region (Basque Country) as early as the 16th century. Its cultivation developed in vegetable gardens where women picked it by hand from August until the first frosts. This is still the harvesting technique used today, which follows the rate of ripening of the peppers picked only when their surface is 80 % red. Since May 2009 the A.O.C. becomes A.O.P.
