Les Délices de Mada invites you to discover three peppers from Madagascar
Wild pepper, pepper with an exceptional fragrance!
The wild voatsiperifery pepper is harvested by hand in the primary forests of Madagascar. The lianas of the tree (Piper bobonense pepper tree) can measure up to 20 meters in height, so it is very difficult to harvest.
This rare and addictive pepper is very little known to the Malagasy population. Unlike black pepper, it does not sting, but its fragrance is very powerful: there are strong woody, floral and citrus notes.
"Voa" means fruit and "tsiperifery" means the plant. It is the only pepper in the world on the verge of extinction, due to the problems of deforestation in the country.
In the kitchen, this pepper can accompany all dishes. It can be added at the last moment to all your preparations: meat, poultry, fish, shellfish, steamed vegetables, dishes in sauce, marinades or fruity desserts.
No risk for the conservation of this pepper. You can store it in any tightly closed container.
