The Quest

In 2014 we immersed on a learning journey to find the world's best pepper! We discovered that this spice is a whole universe of traditions, varieties and colors. Green, red, black, yellow, white, brown, purple. Long, really long, comet tailed, late harvest, flower peppers, berries, grains.

The type of soil, amount of sun, rain and vicinity to the ocean effects the flavors. The taste changes from valley to valley, region to region. Hot, tingeling, intense, lingering, exploding, mature, chocolaty, fruity. The aromas, sensations and experiences are thrilling.

It is time that we shared it all with you!

The Pepper

We bring the best tasting unique pepper in the world into your mouth and onto your dishes. We believe that in order to fully enjoy pepper it must be of the highest quality meaning; handpicked, sun dried, hand sorted, sourced and packed from someone that we know.

Every bite of pepper should welcome you to a culinary journey that brings you to the origin, to the hands that nourished the plant, the fingers that picked the fruit and back to your awakened taste buds.

The Process

First we find regions with unique tastes, growing methods and culinary traditions that sets our passion for flavor ablaze. Then we look for partners, farmers and communities that share our values and a willingness to co-create. We always work inclusive and with long term commitments.

After that starts all the hard and interesting work of actually getting a high quality product to the other side of the world while supporting organic farming, biodiversity and positive development.

In focus

Meet Vinh Linh Black Pepper

Character

Distinct black pepper flavor with deep tones of chocolate and blackcurrant with a beautiful, exploding heat that hits you directly.
Farmer

Mr. Nguyen Huong lives in the small district of Vinh Linh and earns his living as a pepper farmer. His pepper plants are 9 years old and produce some of the best pepper in the region.
Cultivation

Vinh Linh Pepper has been cultivated for over 300 years and was the Vietnamese royal family's favourite choice of pepper. The fertile red soil is perfect for cultivation. The ever changing weather varies from 10-40 c with lots of wind, rain and sun creating very acclimatized harvests.
Eat

Just the perfect black pepper for your mill and mortar. Gives an immediate kick to your dishes and sauces. We love it with clams, pasta, beef, salads, soups, veggies - you name it! Because of its high density of piperine, the medicinal attribute of pepper, it should be used as your go to for your tumeric shoot or golden milk!
