Black Peppercorns from Madagascar - Compagnie Française des Poivres et Epices (1.76oz / 50g)

Finding “piper nigrum” peppers, black or white, of good quality in Madagascar is not easy. The specialty of the country is green pepper, so the majority of the harvest is early when the pepper is immature, which forces our growers to choose vines whose grains appear promising and to buy them on the vine to let them ripen and then repatriate them to Antananarivo in a workshop for drying in the sun and the process that follows. Harvested in the Tamatave region, these little black and wrinkled grains are extremely aromatic with warm and gourmet notes of brioche, pine nut, and marshmallow.

ABOUT THE BRAND
From the meeting of a gourmet and a spice specialist, traveling the globe for two decades from plantation to plantation in search of precious grains, was born a company whose specialty is to offer you what is the best in the world of peppers and spices.

The Compagnie Française des Poivres et des Epices, is a historical nod to the French genius who, like pepper, shaped the menus and history of cuisine and has become a synonym for excellence and avant-garde. Our first store opened in Paris, in the heart of the legendary Place de Furstemberg. Our boutiques aim to be timeless, halfway between vintage herbalism and haute couture perfumery. In this warm space, we travel and escape; transported by scents from the ends of the world, guided by the pleasure of the senses and the sharing of France's treasures.
