DESCRIPCTION:
Penja white pepper, originally from Cameroon, is renowned for its unique flavour and exceptional quality. It is harvested when ripe and dried in the sun, with all stages of production carried out by hand by village women. In 2014, it was awarded Africa's first Protected Geographical Indication (PGI).
This pepper grows in volcanic soil, giving it a naturally aromatic flavour. Its spiciness is subdued, giving way to a minty freshness and animal notes. It is a firm favourite with chefs and food lovers the world over.
Penja's success is due in part to its superior quality and traditional production process. The pepper has become a symbol of African culinary excellence and is used in many refined dishes. Thanks to its PGI status, it is also protected against imitation and counterfeiting. Penja pepper continues to seduce palates around the world with its unique flavour and fascinating history.
