São Tomé and Príncipe is one of the smallest countries in the world, located off the coast of Gabon. In partnership with the island’s residents, we are helping to develop the cooperative that grows and processes organic peppers. Our organic white pepper from São Tomé benefits from an exceptional climate and incredible biodiversity, thanks to the jungle that covers most of the island.

Le poivre blanc bio de São Tomé développe des arômes puissants et frais à la fois, des notes végétales intenses qui illuminent les volailles ou viandes blanches.

Le poivre blanc de Sao Tomé prend une coloration qui va d’un joli gris mat brunâtre au blanc ivoire pâle. Dans sa version moulu, le poivre blanc  est une poudre de couleur crème à grisâtre, avec présence de petits morceaux gris inhérent au produit.

Did you know? At the beginning of the 20th century, pepper was still unknown in São Tomé and Príncipe, but cocoa cultivation was predominant there—and in fact, it was one of the most productive among the colonies of the time. This tiny piece of land was then nicknamed «the chocolate pile.».
