Do you know the real piment du Béarn? The history of this house takes us back a few centuries, long before the arrival of the railroad, when the great-great... grandfather (count 7 generations!) built a postillon that became an inn, a tailor, a tobacconist, a bar... Around 1946, chili cultivation made its arrival here. Let's take a shortcut to Margaux (the 7th generation) and her husband Anthony: producers of a locally-grown pimento, dried at low temperature (20 degrees) and smoked with beech, fig and laurel wood. A lovely local product, handcrafted with passion! Plus: trout and cured meats produced in their smokehouse.

Located in Poey-de-Lescar, Maison Malnou is a Béarn chile producer offering a varied range of high-quality products. This institution cultivates and refines this type of pepper for many weeks to preserve its organoleptic qualities. The first field of chillies was planted in 1948, with around 50 plants. You'll find them plain or in flavors such as peppers, sundried tomatoes, hay and others. After harvesting, this product is dried naturally in the sun and wind, before being smoked using a traditional process with beechwood sawdust. Thanks to this smoking process, you'll enjoy a blend of mature aromas with notes of toasted cereals, wood and licorice. You can discover its specific flavors and light spiciness in the form of powder, jellies or with various confits to enhance your dishes. You can, for example, treat yourself to one of our by-products, such as onion confit with beechwood-smoked béarnaise pepper, or Maison Malnou-style béarnaise sauce. What's more, you can sample Béarn specialities with chilli pepper, such as garbure, ham or pâté, at the tables of the auberge "Le Postillon", the former coaching inn of the Poey-de-Lescar Post Office, converted by the establishment's ancestors in 1872. A not-to-be-missed address for chilli lovers!
