Frequently Asked Questions

It is a 100% wild pepper native to Madagascar, from the Piper borbonense family. Unlike classic black pepper (Piper nigrum), which is plantation-grown, Voatsiperifery grows freely in the rainforest. Visually, it is smaller than a black peppercorn and has a distinctive little "tail" (its stalk), hence its nickname "tailed pepper".

Its greatest asset is that it has very little bite! It is far less pungent than traditional black pepper. What it lacks in heat, it makes up for in incredible aroma. On the palate, it reveals very fresh, woody and earthy notes, followed by a touch of citrus and wild flowers. It is a spice of elegance rather than power.

The golden rule is to never cook it, as heat destroys its volatile essential oils. It should be used exclusively as a finishing touch, ground or crushed with a pestle at the very last moment, straight onto the plate. It elevates red meats, white fish, pan-fried mushrooms and foie gras, but also desserts: it is extraordinary on strawberries or a dark chocolate fondant!

As the peppercorns are small and have a little tail, they can sometimes feed differently through very basic mills. However, a classic pepper mill (with a good steel or ceramic mechanism) will do the job perfectly well. For a more rustic texture, we recommend crushing it coarsely with a mortar and pestle.

The aromas of wild pepper are highly volatile. To keep its aromatic power for several years, always store your whole peppercorns in an airtight glass jar or an opaque zip-lock bag, away from direct light, heat and humidity. Never grind it in advance.

The Jewel of the Canopy: Harvesting Wild Voatsiperifery Pepper

Wild Voatsiperifery Pepper is not cultivated, it is earned. Endemic to Madagascar, this wild vine grows exclusively deep within dense tropical rainforest, winding around great trees to reach the light of the canopy, sometimes more than 20 metres up.

Harvesting it is a genuine challenge. Malagasy villagers climb bare-handed to gather the fresh clusters from the treetops, risking their lives. This tailed pepper (recognisable by its small stalk) is then sun-dried. It is this entirely wild origin that gives it such a distinctive aromatic profile: a gentle first note, moderate heat (very little bite), and an explosion of intensely woody, earthy notes, delicately floral with hints of citrus.
