Descriptions

Our Wild Pepper ( Piper borbonense ), locally called Voatsiperifery, is harvested in the wild in the tropical forests of Madagascar, mainly in the East and Southeast regions.

The berries are hand-picked when fully ripe, then undergo a rigorous process including natural drying, hand-sorting, grading, and packaging. The product consists of small, dark brown to black berries, often with their stems, with a fresh, woody aroma and an intense, slightly lemony and resinous flavor.
