Taggiasca olives are small, fruity olives from the Mediterranean (in southern France they’re known as cailletier) that are used as eating olives and pressed for olive oil.
Piment d’espelette (or espelette pepper) is a finely ground French chilli powder often used in Basque cooking. It’s available from souschef.co.uk but if you can’t find it use a little hot unsmoked paprika.
