Black Penja Pepper (65g pepper pot)

Black Penja pepper has a subtle, powerful and lingering flavour. Penja pepper is rare. It is grown in naturally rich volcanic soil in an ideal climate and farmed using age-old techniques. It is harvested by hand, bunch by bunch, and then allowed to dry naturally. It is then graded using special sieves so that only "large" grains are retained..

Black Penja pepper has an exceptional flavour. It is wild, robust and warm with a lingering and pronounced spicy character.

It is the most powerful of all the Penja peppers. Grind it at the last moment to appreciate its flavour at its fullest. It will season your meat, fish, seafood and mushrooms beautifully. It can also accompany fruit desserts.

In 2013, Penja pepper was awarded the very first African Protected Geographical Indication (PGI).
