BLACK PEPPER
This pepper is harvested green, and dried in the sun until it turns black.
Pepper is like the fruit of the vine, it draws its aromas from the soil that nourishes it. A pepper of origin comes from a region and its flavours are unique to that region.
"Passion Poivre" is the name under which Franck Deschamps likes to introduce himself: A former farmer with a passion for this spice, he has travelled for 10 years to meet pepper growers in India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Cambodia, Sumatra, Java...
This organic Kerala black pepper comes from the southern region of India. This black pepper is harvested by farmers united in a cooperative. Franck Deschamps appreciated all the passion they put into their profession to produce this beautiful pepper. These Kerala farmers are trying to revive a traditional soil-friendly culture after many of them have been ruined by intensive farming using weedkillers and forcing them to depend on large chemical supply companies. The new harvest is intense, powerful (for those who like peppers that have fire, it is ideal) very complex. A great success.
