ORGANIC SAO TOME RED PEPPER
Organic Sao Tomé Red Pepper (Piper nigrum / traditional spice from organic farming), an aromatic spice with sweet, slightly spicy, and subtly robust notes, is ideal for enhancing sauces, soups, fish, poultry, and refined dishes. Prized for its stimulating and digestive properties, it adds finesse, intensity, and character to all your culinary creations. As a product of organic farming, it guarantees a pure aroma and carefully selected quality.
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.
Organic São Tomé red pepper has a flavor profile that is both powerful and fresh, with intense herbal notes that enhance the flavor of poultry and white meats.
Organic Sao Tomé red pepper ranges in color from a lovely matte brownish-gray to pale ivory white. When ground, the white pepper is a cream- to grayish-colored powder, with small gray specks inherent to the product.
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.».
