Its unique aroma develops thanks to the fertile soil, humid warm climate, and mild, slightly salty sea air of the East Coast.
The Wild Pepper from Madagascar
Highly unusual and extremely popular among connoisseurs, the very rare wild pepper (Voatsiperifery) is a delicacy. Each peppercorn (much smaller than black pepper) must be harvested by hand. Although typical of Madagascar, it is also very rare here and is always in demand by gourmets. Its taste is similar to the fresh aroma of black pepper. What sets it apart is its incredibly sophisticated complexity of flavors such as that of fresh forest floor, noble mushrooms, and other fruity-exotic notes. This pepper not only promises a special flavor experience, but also adds a touch of luxury to any dish.
Stimulation of taste buds but is also versatile in the kitchen: it pairs excellently with game dishes, chanterelles, porcini mushrooms, and even a summer salad.
