As part of our quality approach, in addition to the specification of the PDO, we have established a specific manufacturing process in our operations, allowing us to control the quality of the product throughout the production cycle. We perform in addition, a systematic microbiological analysis for each jar of product chili powder powder and a mycotoxin analysis and phytosanitary residues annually on a jar.
With our dynamism and our quality commitment, our PDO Espelette pepper, gets for the second consecutive year a silver medal in open competition in the framework of the International Exhibition of Agriculture 2015, preceded by a gold medal in 2012. These awards give us a new impetus to the future and motivate us to expand our efforts to provide an exceptionally high quality chili pepper product.
