Origin: Madagascar Net volumes and weights: 48g / 1.69 oz €312/kg Ingredients: Piper nigrum Description: Antalaha, located on the northeast coast of Madagascar, is an exceptional bay, favored by surfers and bordered by a protected tropical forest, listed as a UNESCO heritage site. In this unique terroir, a few small producers passionately cultivate pepper and vanilla, including Mrs. Fow Heng, who has dedicated her orchard to pepper cultivation for 20 years, assisted by a few gardeners. Produced in very small quantities, this red pepper is extremely rare and precious. The grains are hand-harvested, ripening by ripening, with great precision. After selection, they are sorted, washed, and then sun-dried for several days, following a traditional process. On the palate, this pepper develops round and fruity notes, reminiscent of red fruits, accompanied by a subtle floral and resinous touch. Its delicate spiciness allows an exceptional aromatic richness to express itself, making each grain a unique tasting experience. Usage tips: To fully enjoy its aromas, it is recommended to add it at the very last moment. This pepper enhances fine dishes such as foie gras, duck, scallops, or John Dory. It also highlights roasted vegetables and raw vegetables, and elegantly enhances a chutney or vinaigrette. Versatile, it perfectly accompanies meat and fish, whether in carpaccio, on the barbecue, or simply seared. Its fruity notes are particularly revealed in desserts, in harmony with exotic fruits, citrus, or chocolate. It can even bring an original and aromatic touch to a cocktail.
