Good to Know +
  • Different pepper origins can taste dramatically different even when they look similar.
  • Whole spices usually retain their aroma longer than pre-ground versions.
  • Ask about recent harvests if freshness is particularly important to you.
  • Chiles vary as much in aroma as in heat, so choose by flavor rather than strength alone.
  • Compact spice tins and pepper assortments make excellent travel-friendly gifts.
  • Place de Furstemberg is one of the prettiest small squares in Saint-Germain, making the boutique easy to combine with a neighborhood walk.
  • TLC Paris tip: choose one pepper you already know and one completely unfamiliar variety — comparing them side by side is the most enjoyable way to understand the collection.
