This very unique pepper is harvested in the south of Vietnam, on the island of Phu-Quoc, renowned for the excellence of its nuoc-mâm. Vietnam is the largest pepper producer in the world, which does not always rhyme with quality; however, some plantations choose to enhance their heritage. The Phu-Quoc pepper that we offer is of rare quality, the fruit of a passionate family, native to the island for several generations and involved in a process of transmitting unique traditional know-how.

This generously shaped black pepper tends towards brown with reddish reflections. From the first nose, this pepper is bewitching. A warm fragrance reminiscent of red pepper indicates that particular care has been taken in picking and sorting the beans, which have been given time to ripen.

Once crushed, it releases a procession of heterogeneous flavors making it unique. The first notes are fruity reminiscent of dried tomato, woody notes delicately line the mucous membranes, enhanced by a few spicy touches of Ceylon cinnamon. The spiciness is quite mild and rises very gradually, an iodized salinity gives way to a slightly sweet sensation. The length in the mouth is medium and the very present pleasure immediately calls for a new bite.
