Organic Sao Tome Pepper

Organic Sao Tomé pepper is a rare and exceptional variety of pepper grown on the island of Sao Tomé off the coast of Gabon. This spice is appreciated for its rarity and its natural environment close to the ocean and the equator, which allows it to flourish in a hot and humid climate.  Organic Sao Tome pepper stands out for its complex aroma, with notes of earth and honey, as well as its slightly spicy character and soft and slightly sweet nuances. It is sun-dried before being ground, making it an essential culinary ingredient to enhance flavors.  On the palate, this pepper offers a deeper flavor than traditional black pepper, and its intense taste highlights the ingredients it accompanies, especially if it is ground just before use.  Organic Sao Tome pepper is a natural variety, coming from the Piper nigrum plant and grown without the use of pesticides, GMOs or synthetic products. It is rich in antioxidants, vitamins (A, B, C) and minerals (iron, magnesium, phosphorus), helping to prevent cellular aging and cardiovascular diseases. It is also a good source of antioxidants and contains phytochemicals, giving it immunostimulating and anti-inflammatory properties.  Organic Sao Tome black pepper is versatile in cooking, pairing perfectly with savory or sweet dishes, sauces and marinades, vegetables, pastas, salads and soups. It is ideal for enhancing the flavor of red meats and fatty fish, and it can also be used in sweet preparations, especially those based on chocolate. Plus, it adds a subtle spicy touch to fruit drinks.  To benefit from all the flavor of organic Sao Tome pepper, it is recommended to grind it just before use using a pepper mill, which allows you to obtain a fresh and fragrant powder.
