White pepper is the secret of great chefs and starred chefs by chef Arnaud

Comptoir de Toamasina begins its story with unique Bourbon Vanilla pods from Madagascar , Vanilla from Tahiti and then vanillas from around the world.

White pepper is less fascinating than black pepper, see wild Madagascar pepper.

But it is a unique condiment, Sarawak white pepper cultivated with passion is ideal for seafood.

It is unloved by cooks because of its notes of civet and musk. It is true that when used incorrectly, it becomes a pepper with animal notes.

But a more subtle use in foods, white sauces, a soup will make your recipe unique , when you crush it it is much better than other peppers .

But white pepper is a must for the food industry. White pepper is used by the greatest chefs because it is very sophisticated and above all its notes are off the beaten track.

But each country that produces white pepper will produce white peppers with different aromatic power and very different notes.

We always keep the touch of civet, musk, animal but only the white Kampot pepper does not have this note and that is why we made a paragraph.

Le Comptoir de Toamasina is the most beautiful house and online store selling pepper.

Arnaud trains every year on pepper plantations in Brazil to be able to select and buy the most beautiful white peppers in the world for you.

History and Discovery of White Pepper

The origin of white pepper, which is harvested when ripe just before red pepper.

The history of white pepper is closely linked to that of black pepper, which originated in Kerala in southwest India. Thanks to the Portuguese, pepper will conquer the world.

Pepper was once believed to relieve stomach problems and have anti-inflammatory qualities. But it is not.

In the early part of the second millennium BC , Indian sages wrote the first articles on pepper as an effective medicine . In the past, its medicinal abilities were acclaimed.

Several millennia later, Alexander the Great discovered peppercorns in Greece and of this variety, i.e. white pepper.

The Romans understood the potential of the spice, particularly economically.

From an exquisite spice reserved for the rich, pepper quickly transformed into a valuable currency.

According to Roman mythology, you should know that in Rome its Germanic occupants were paid 3,000 pounds of pepper to lift the siege in the year 410, in addition to gold, silver and valuable clothing.

Before the Middle Ages, the hot spice was used as tribute, tax or cash. It was at this time that the expression "paying in cash (spices)" was born.

It was only when Vasco da Gama discovered sea connections with India in 1498 that pepper was able to take the quickest and therefore cheapest route to Europe.

New growing regions were created, and with them, new varieties of pepper that today make gourmets swoon.

Vietnam, Brazil, Indonesia, India, Malaysia, China, Madagascar, Cameroon, India, Malaysia, China, Sri Lanka and Thailand are currently among the main growing regions of these highly sought-after peppercorns.

Penja, Sri Lanka and Thailand also produce white pepper. But new unique types are still being discovered, such as Kampot pepper in Cambodia.

If you want to know everything about white pepper, discover our video what is the difference between white pepper and black pepper.

what is white pepper ?

Both white pepper and black pepper come from the same plant, piper.

Their stories are therefore inextricably linked.

Black and white peppers are derived from the fruits of the Piper nigrum plant . White peppercorns are distinguished by having their brown skin removed, which changes both their taste and appearance. To obtain white peppercorns, the peppercorns are allowed to ripen before soaking so that the pericarp can be removed.

Throughout human history, pepper has been one of the most essential spices. We can even say that its value is exceeded only by that of salt. The history of the spice trade mainly centers on the history of black pepper and white pepper.

Piper nigrum is native to Southeast Asia, and Indian chefs were using the pepper as early as 2000 BCE. Ancient Egyptians used pepper to mummify the dead; peppercorns were discovered in the tomb of Ramesses II, and it is claimed that pepper was used as currency in ancient Rome.

By the 9th century, pepper was an important commodity in England, and in 1180 a pepper guild was established in London. During the Middle Ages, the Venetians and Genoese enjoyed a monopoly on the pepper trade in Europe.

The majority of the world's white pepper today is produced in Indonesia. More precisely, it comes from Bangka, an island located southeast of Sumatra. Brazil is the second largest producer of white pepper, but its pepper is milder than that of Indonesia.

A WHITE PEPPER RANGING FROM CREAM WHITE TO INTENSE WHITE - The different types of white pepper

The color of white pepper will essentially depend on the country where it is produced.

But we can say that its color ranges from creamy white to intense and bright white.

Because even if the bunch is harvested when ripe and then goes into tanks of water, rub to remove its pericarp to have completely white whole grains . It is essential to discover the colors that can be encountered after it is removed from its envelope.

If we take 3 different peppers like Muntok pepper will have a creamy white color, white Kampot pepper an intense white color and white Ceylon pepper a white color.

As you can see, the tone of the white pepper will depend on the know-how of the producer and the terroir.

Le Comptoir de Toamasina selects white peppers for you with rare and incredible aromatic power.

Why is white pepper the most expensive pepper in the world ?

The price of pepper will vary depending on its degree of complexity during preparation. With two harvests per year, black pepper is the cheapest in the world. And black pepper from Bahia costs around 3 euros per kilo.

White pepper is the final stage of the harvest, so you will have a higher price because you can only have one harvest per year because it is harvested after 9 months. Then white pepper is very rare compared to black pepper because it is very difficult to produce and few producers want to produce it. In Brazil, out of 50 plantations that we visited, we saw only 3 which will produce white pepper.

Here are the 6 criteria why white pepper is expensive:

Harvest: Final stage of the harvest, white pepper is harvested when the grain turns orange-red from the ninth month.
The difficulty of preparation: The white peppercorn will be immersed in fresh water in order to remove its pericarp
Drying: More complicated drying is required, including regular time in the sun for it to be ready and it is very fragile.
Packaging: White pepper sells less than black pepper and the bottles and mill cost more than a sachet
Global supply and demand : If the world wants more black pepper, then it is easier to produce and if the price is not 8 euros higher on the market it is complicated to make white pepper. profitable
Weather conditions in producing countries: Staying on the vine for more than 9 months exposes you to the effects of storms and climatic conditions

What is the sweetest pepper in the world ?

We can say here that white pepper is the mildest pepper we know between black and red pepper.

It will have the sweetness and subtlety of green pepper but with a wilder heart.

White pepper is very mild in the mouth , it does not sting, but unlike green pepper which gives vegetal notes, here you will discover a pepper with a creamy white color and notes of musk, civet, it's wild notes intense and very animalistic.

We also like it because it does not offer coloring power like black pepper and white pepper.

What is the best white pepper in the world?

It is very difficult to say which is the best white.

But Kampot white pepper is surely the best white pepper in the world because its notes are incredible, goodbye civet and animal notes and hello mint and spice notes.

It's an extraordinary pepper. Very far from the classic notes of white pepper.

It can be used anywhere in the kitchen and above all it does not sting.

This is why it is a universal pepper and it is the best seller at Comptoir de Toamasina.

What is the difference between white pepper and white Kampot pepper

In the video Arnaud will explain the difference between white pepper and white Kampot pepper.

We explained to you that white kampot pepper will have notes of citrus, fresh herbs but also mint, while white pepper is the animal and civet notes that will take over.

The color of the grain is different and above all it offers a beautiful white. It is very well calibrated. We love him for all that.
