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.
The organic white pepper from São Tomé is an exceptional spice grown on a volcanic archipelago off the coast of Gabon. This small island nation boasts an equatorial climate and lush jungle. This unspoiled environment gives the pepper plants their unique aromas.
In partnership with local producers, we support the development of a sustainable agricultural cooperative. This approach ensures a fair income for farmers and full traceability for our customers.
Today, the organic white pepper from São Tomé appeals to discerning chefs and culinary artisans. Unlike black pepper, the berries are harvested when fully ripe. The berries are then soaked in spring water to gently remove the outer husk. This artisanal method reveals a grain of exceptional purity. Furthermore, it preserves all the freshness of the region of origin.

Did you know?
At the beginning of the 20th century, pepper was still completely unknown in the archipelago. In contrast, cocoa cultivation was widespread there and particularly productive. That is why this unspoiled territory was nicknamed «Chocolate Island». Today, the pepper plant coexists harmoniously with this age-old agricultural tradition.
