VOATSIPERIFERY PEPPER

At the heart of the Malagasy forests, Voatsiperifery black pepper creepers can grow up to 10 metres high! Rare, unique, and even addictive with their woody, floral notes and a fresh citrus hint. Pop it in your pepper mill to brighten up your recipes.

Voatsiperifery pepper is a wild well-preserved treasure from Madagascar. The island has a tropical climate that favours the growth of a wide variety of fruit, vegetables and spices. These include pink peppercorns, world-famous vanilla and wild Voatsiperifery pepper. You must head deep into the tropical forests far from the towns to discover where it grows. Local villagers harvest this rare pepper between October and December. They alone are skilled enough to climb to the very top of the creepers to pick the pepper. It’s a dangerous task as the creepers can grow up to 10 metres high, where the pepper thrives in full sunlight at the very top of the trees. During the harvest, neither the tree nor the creeper is cut to protect the sustainability of this rare pepper. The peppercorns must dry for several days and then be sorted meticulously by hand before this wild pepper can be exported. 

Chocolate and Voatsiperifery pepper go hand in hand. It is deliciously decadent in creamy chocolate sauces, or add it to a gooey chocolate cake! But chocolate is not the only companion for Voatsiperifery pepper. Add fresh and spicy notes to your savoury meat, fish, or shellfish recipes. Be careful not to leave it infusing too long to avoid the taste becoming too bitter. The aromas of Voatsiperifery pepper are spicier and more robust than Piper nigrum. Its fresh aromas and floral, woody, and citrus notes are outstanding. It releases sharp, acidic notes with hints of menthol.
