The Rare Pepper Buying Guide

Berries and peppers are universal spices that will take your taste buds on a journey.

Pepper is the pearl of all spices . With sea salt, there is no recipe without this little wonder.

Arnaud, creator of Comptoir de Toamasina who is a private chef in Brazil , will want to create Le Comptoir de Toamasina because it is not easy to find good vanilla , good peppers and especially pepper mills with good pepper in grains.

This small grain, with its spicy, earthy, woody and biting flavor, occupies an important place in the history and gastronomic development of several nations. The unique taste of pepper goes well with most savory dishes and some sweet dishes.

Pepper was once so rare and valuable that it was used as currency to pay taxes, rents and dowries. Today, several countries produce excellent quality pepper, including India, Cameroon, Madagascar, Vietnam, Cambodia, Japan, Laos, Brazil, Malaysia, Indonesia, China, Ghana and Zimbabwe.

On pepper trees, peppercorns grow in clusters.

The pepper plant is part of the Piperaceae family, a family of tropical plants.

It takes about eight years for the plant to produce its first fruit.

It takes several weeks for pepper berries to mature, before ripening they are green, then yellow, and finally red.

All types of peppers therefore come from the same fruit and vary depending on the harvest phase, the drying time of the seeds and the preparation technique.

Green pepper, black pepper, white pepper and red pepper are the different types of pepper. The name pepper is only designated for berries of the Piperaceae family. 

All other berries that are not part of this family are called "false peppers." These berries are often mistakenly referred to as peppers. This is the case for “pink pepper”, “Jamaica pepper” and “Szechuan pepper”.

“Grey pepper” doesn’t really exist! This is verbal abuse. It's actually a tasteless combination of white and black pepper powders.

The different botanical varieties of rare peppers

Rare peppers can be of the piper nigrum variety, other varieties of the piper genus or even berries. 

They are rare because there is a small production, they are grand cru peppers, micro-regions or simply the place of production.

But often, it is the preparation of the pepper that will make it rare. 

We invite you to know the different varieties of black pepper.

Rare piper nigrum peppers: 

  • Green Pepper: The berry is harvested before it ripens and then preserved either in brine or by freeze-drying . Freeze-drying treatment is expensive, so it is rare to find pepper in this form and therefore increases its price and makes it a rare pepper. The freeze-drying technique and the one we use for our acai berry
  • Red Pepper  : the Piper nigrum species will produce red pepper at the last stage of maturation; it is a pepper that is harvested when fully ripe and dried. It is very difficult to find because producers prefer to produce black pepper, which is easier to dry and, above all, quick. 

As you see, the world of pepper is magical, each variety of Piper Nigrum will be appreciated by gourmets, lovers of cuisine and chefs, whether starred or not. Great chefs love red pepper for its fruity side.

Other varieties of pepper plants of the piper genus:

For a purist in the world of pepper, there is only Piper Nigrum which must have the pepper appellation . But in the Piperaceae family we have:

  • Piper Borbonense: Wild pepper from Madagascar Voatsiperifery, is a pepper with a confluence of flavors and it offers you an extraordinary journey into the world of pepper. 
  • Piper cubeba: Which will give the cubebe pepper, a tailed pepper with a touch of mint naturally, it's a magical pepper
  • Piper Longum: Long pepper or Java pepper, a magnificent pepper with warm cocoa notes
  • Piper Guineense:  It is a pepper that is only found in Cameroon, we must start with extraordinary peppers
  • Other pipers: Each country can have its type of piper, the piper is a big family that we like to discover for its side of taking us off the beaten track

False peppers - rare berries:

Rare berries can be confusing because of the name pepper that can be given to them. In the Portuguese language, allspice, black pepper, is called chili pepper for the second and chili pepper da Jamaïca for the first. So as you see the literal translation of chili is pepper, that's why we can have some confusion. 

The berries will have extraordinary flavors:

  • Aframomum melegueta: Here we are in Africa and in Guinea with maniguette guinea pepper
  • Pimenta dioica: This is the allspice , the tree that produces this berry will have the same smell as a wallflower
  • Schibus terebinthifolius: This is the pink berry , a berry that grows in the tropics and is found in plantations as well as in cities in Brazil. The tree adapts to hot and dry and hot and humid climates, for example Minas Gerais.
  • Tasmannia Lanceolate: Tasmanian pepper is a little devil in the mouth
  • Vitex agnus-castus: This is the pepper called monk pepper, lamb pepper
  • Xylopia aethiopica: A species that produces Selim pepper
  • Zanthoxylum piperitum: These are the berries that we love at Comptoir de Toamasina, Sichuan pepper and timur berries with their citrus notes. 

As you see, rare pepper is a big family and Comptoir de Toamasina wants you to discover the most beautiful berries at the best value for money. 

The history of Rare pepper

The history of rare pepper dates back to 2,000 BC.

Since ancient times, pepper has been a spice worth gold.

Although there is a difference between the fruit of the long pepper tree and the fruit of the piper nigrum pepper because they are cousins. Like Timut Bay and Green Sichuan Bay. Pepper has always been part of cooking.

Traces of it can be found as far away as Greece in Antiquity, originating from the western Indian subcontinent.

Portuguese exports will be able to compete with Italian exports in Europe thanks to the travels of Vasco da Gama, who brought it from India directly to the European market. Without forgetting without Bartelomeu Dias who will pass the milestone of good hope.

It took at least two millennia to get our hands on the peppers and blends we use today.

Pepper was the symbol of wealth 

For a long time, buying pepper was considered a social signifier, especially in Europe, where the price of pepper was quite high. You could pay with peppercorns back then. Spice with a side like gold.

Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is one of the oldest and best-known spices in the world, is widely used in cuisines around the world. Like oil today, it was the most important agricultural commodity in the past. The cuisines of many cultures use the dried and powdered seeds of this plant. The chemical ingredient, piperine, gives it a smoky and somewhat peppery taste. Discover our smoked pepper.

More than 4000 years ago, it appeared in the wild on the west coast of India, known as the Malabar coast. It took a millennium, or 3000 years, to start cultivating it

Chef Arnaud, creator of Comptoir de Toamasina, invites you to discover the 7 tips for buying a good rare pepper 

  • Number 1 - Choose peppercorns: Peppercorns retain their aromas
  • Number 2 - Give your preference to peppers from plantations and origins:  Pepper from Kampot, Sarawak, Madagascar, the earth gives its aromas to the pepper and a rare and incredible aromatic power. It's the same for berries.
  • Number 3 - Cook with the 4 colors of pepper: Black, green, red or white pepper, like wine, enjoy its wide range of flavors
  • Number 4 - Crush your grains and berries not too finely: The heat is mainly found in the peel of the pepper and the heart contains its flavors. Fine crushing gives more weight to the spiciness of the pepper
  • Number 5 - Pepper cannot withstand heat and loses its aroma: A turn of the mill at the last moment is ideal or crush it like mignonette peppe
  • Number 6 - Dare to pair and mix berries and peppers: Desert/pepper or even melon pepper, strawberry/pepper and Sichuan berry, fish and grapefruit berry (Timut)
  • Number 7 - Have several peppers:   Cooking with several peppers allows you to add new flavors to your dish

Kampot pepper

There is no official Kampot pepper store

Comptoir de Toamasina selects Kampot pepper of one color, black, red and white. We hope that Kampot pepper has a touch of mint that will revolutionize your cooking. 

Cambodia is a land rich in history and pepper. Today it is said to be the best pepper in the world.

Kampot pepper is now a topic of conversation. At the same time it deserves it, this pepper is considered one of the greatest in the world. This is a pepper that comes from Piper Negrum, the famous tropical vine, which makes it a real pepper, unlike its cousins, cubeb and long fruit pepper.

 

In the south of Cambodia, local farmers produce it while respecting the environment.

It is named after the region in southern Cambodia where it is grown: Kampot. Additionally, it is found in the Kep province. In the Kampot region of Cambodia, another type of pepper is grown which is also considered one of the best in the world: Kampot long pepper.

The fact that it is the first Cambodian agricultural product to obtain a PGI (Protected Geographical Indication), a designation that has protected this pepper since April 2, 2010, makes it a unique spice in Cambodia. The protected geographical indication (PGI) is an identifier for products whose quality or reputation is linked to the place of their production, transformation or development.

 

This is not without reason, because its unique taste comes, like that of our wines, from the extraordinary soil of Kampot and the way of agriculture of the province.

The origins of Kampot pepper cultivation date back to the 13th century. In the 19th century, a sultan of what is now Indonesia burned all of the country's pepper plants to prevent Dutch invaders from taking them. It will then be time to transplant the Indonesian plants, and Cambodia will then replace Indonesia as the world's pepper supplier.

 

According to the story, Kampot pepper is a survivor: from 1975 to 1979, when the Khmer Rouge, a radical communist political and military force in Cambodia, took control, Kampot cultivation was completely abandoned in favor of rice farming. . After 1979, as true resistance fighters, several local farmers revived its cultivation, which has since spread throughout Kampot and Kep.

 

Second small incident, in her work A dam against the Pacific, Marguerite Duras, who spent her childhood in the province of Kampot, mentions the famous pepper.

 

 

 

What does Kampot pepper taste like?

 

 

The smell of Kampot pepper is delicious, with notes of pear and apple, delicately minty, and exquisite notes of eucalyptus. It will quickly overshadow the rest of your peppers!

 

As with other peppers, there are red, green, white, and of course black peppers, each with subtle distinctions:

 

 

  • Kampot green pepper: cannot be exported, it is only consumed locally. Picked before maturity, it is still delicate and less spicy than black, but its scent is remarkable. It is often eaten fresh before being preserved in brine.
  • Kampot black pepper: is an almost ripe fruit, both powerful and delicate. Floral aromas with a hint of eucalyptus and fresh mint are detected by pepper experts. 
  •  Red pepper: from Kampot is the ripe fruit whose peel is red. It is quite spicy and weakly aromatic. It has fruity and floral notes, with a pronounced lemon taste. It is a fantastic alternative to Pondicherry red pepper, equally famous for its remarkable quality among Indian peppers.
  • White Kampot pepper: is actually a red pepper from which the pericarp has been removed. It looks similar to black pepper, but is milder and less abrasive. It has extremely subtle tastes of citrus, undergrowth and herbs.

You are wondering about Kampot pepper and we will answer them:

  • Where to buy the most beautiful box of Kampot pepper? It is here, at Comptoir de Toamasina, that you will buy a box of Kampot pepper in a mill or simply in a bottle.
  • What is the price of Kampot pepper? The price per kilo of real Kampot pepper varies depending on its packaging. A 50g bottle will be more expensive than a 200g sachet or even per kilo. The price of Kampot pepper will vary between 70 euros to 200 € per kg, depending on the sellers and the quality of the pepper. Concerning white and red, the prices are generally higher than black because they are the most difficult peppers to make.
  • Where to buy Kampot pepper? You can buy your Kampot pepper at Comptoir de Toamasina. We favor value for money over the sole criterion of cheapness and we offer our first packaging in bottles and not in simple sachets.
  • Where to buy ground Kampot? Buy ground Kampot pepper at Comptoir de Toamasina. It is yourself with our Kampot pepper mill that you will grind your Kampot pepper at home.
