9 Rare Peppers & Berries Generous Format The Best Value For Money

Rigorous Selection

Arnaud travels the world and immerses himself in the plantations to understand how to select the best peppers: terroir, grain and impeccable drying.

Incomparable Diversity

A true chef's palette: deep black peppers, delicate whites, roasted long peppers and spicy berries with sparkling citrus.

Volume & Savings

Forget small samples. With bags from 120g to 250g per origin, this large economical box allows you to cook freely for months.

Embark on a world tour on the route of the lands of pepper. Our large gift box is made up of 9 peppers and berries in grains, packaged in resealable bags: you will discover the best crops on the planet. A box to give as a gift or to buy for yourself, ideal for mastering all the richness of the aromas of world gastronomy — at the absolute best value for money in our pepper range.

Arnaud Sion's words — Trained in the heart of the plantations

"Each pepper we offer is a journey for your taste buds. I am committed to a perpetual quest for perfection: I select peppers according to the specificity of their terroir, the size of their grain and, above all, strict compliance with their post-harvest ripening."

"In Brazil, in the state of Espirito Santo, a cooperative trained me in the selection of the most beautiful peppers. It is this immersion in the heart of the plantations that allows me today to compose this masterful gift box — each peppercorn becomes a true ambassador of its native land."

Understanding pepper: colors and berries

It is essential to know the nuances to season a dish well. Black pepper: picked just before maturity and dried, it is pungent and full-bodied, ideal for seasoning meats and sauces. Red pepper: picked at full maturity, it offers a fruity and candied sweetness. White pepper: it is the core of the ripe grain stripped of its outer shell; delicate and refined, without coloring light-colored sauces.

The "berries of the world": we deliberately broaden the horizon of flavors by including berries (citrus family, Zanthoxylum) in our selection, in accordance with the ethnobotanical vision. These spicy false berries — Timut from Nepal, Sichuan from China — provide a sparkling, lemony aromatic richness that will radically transform your cooking.

The 9 treasures of the box, presented one by one

Muntok White Pepper (250g)

Bangka Island, Indonesia · Piper nigrum

ElegantMuskyCivet Notes

Historically cultivated on the island of Bangka, it is the quintessence of Indonesian elegance. Stripped of its dark shell by retting, it develops delicate notes, but also a very strongly musky and animal profile (known as "civet"). Ideal for light sauces, fish and poultry — it seasons deeply without coloring. Use it absolutely at the very end of cooking to avoid bitterness.

Cubeb Pepper (150g)

Indonesia · Piper cubeba · Tailed pepper

MintyEucalyptusFreshness

Also called "tailed pepper", this round pepper exudes a very surprising, slightly minty and balsamic (eucalyptus) character: a one-way ticket to the exoticism of Southeast Asia. It pairs divinely with game, as well as with winter fruit compotes, sometimes even replacing vanilla! Crush the grains slightly to release its freshness.

Java Long Pepper (200g)

Indonesia · Piper retrofractum · Long pepper from volcanic slopes

CocoaCinnamonBlond Tobacco

Harvested on the volcanic slopes of Indonesia, this long pepper shaped like a small catkin is synonymous with warm intensity.

Timut Berry from Nepal (120g)

Himalayas, Nepal · Zanthoxylum armatum · False pepper

Pink grapefruitCitrusSparkling

An absolute explosion of freshness with dazzling notes of citrus and pink grapefruit — Arnaud has never seen such an aromatic berry in his entire career. It instantly illuminates white fish, seafood tartares, fruity desserts and even cocktails! Crush at the last minute.

Madagascar Black Pepper (250g)

Madagascar · Piper nigrum

RichFreshCitric

Rich and very fresh, with an unmistakable citric tang on the tongue: it is the best classic pepper, offering a perfect balance between robust heat and aromatic flavors. The ultimate everyday pepper — it enhances summer grills and winter roasted vegetables.

Sri Lanka Black Pepper (240g)

Ceylon, Sri Lanka · Piper nigrum

Intense spicyRipe guava

Very pungent and highly aromatic, this pepper comes from a unique island terroir, offering astonishing and sweet notes of ripe guava on the finish. Its assertive heat is a masterful asset for curries, dahls and spicy sauce dishes.

Tellicherry Black Pepper (250g)

Malabar Coast, India · Premium grade TGSEB

Coarse grainsFruity roundnessPower

Recognized as one of the best black peppers in the world: powerful, fruity and very fragrant. The TGSEB (Tellicherry Garbled Special Extra Bold) grade guarantees larger grains, bursting with essential oils. A real jewel for connoisseurs, made to sublimate fine cuts of beef.

Voatsiperifery Wild Pepper (150g)

Madagascar · Piper borbonense · Picked in the forest

WoodyRed fruitsVery rare

Rare and precious, this wild tailed pepper grows on huge lianas. It develops woody, earthy and floral notes — it is often said to be the pepper of Michelin-starred chefs. It enchants chocolates and pastries, sprinkled as a finishing touch. Note: Depending on the excellence of the year's harvests, it may be temporarily replaced by our powerful Smoked Black Pepper.

Red Sichuan Berry (150g)

China · Zanthoxylum bungeanum · False pepper

LemonWoodyNumbing

Woody lemony and floral nuances, with an incredible electric-sparkling, slightly numbing sensation on the tongue, the signature of Asian gastronomy. The dream spice for duck and wok stir-fries.

Three cardinal points to understand this box: India's Tellicherry embodies the classic and structuring power of exceptional large black peppers (perfect on red meats). The Timut berry from Nepal throws the door wide open to the world of fresh, tangy citrus fruits (intense pink grapefruit, ideal on raw fish!). Finally, Java long pepper reveals the ultra-gourmet and warm side of peppers (cocoa, cinnamon, blond tobacco), perfectly suited to slow cooking. The other 6 peppers in the box navigate subtly between these three absolute poles — it is the entire world map of pepper enclosed in a single box.

Arnaud's 10 Tips & Recipes for Mastering Peppers

Learn chef's techniques for roasting, crushing or infusing each of the 9 extraordinary batches of spices contained in this gift collection, in order to fully unleash the potential of your creations and avoid unpleasant bitterness mistakes.

1. The Master Chef Technique of Direct Heating (Special for Sichuan & Timut)

Why and when to dry-roast the false lemon berries in the pan?

The direct exposed heat from the hot pan releases and definitively awakens the dormant powerful juice aromas of the citrus botanical family that make up both the false grains (Timut) and (Sichuan), magnifying them 10x perfectly with the grapefruit / lemon zest and camphor tones of the berry itself.

  1. In a shallow dry frying pan on a vigorous/medium heat stove without a single drop of oil - nothing - throw your grains and continuously shake it without letting them rest for 30, a maximum of 45 seconds and nothing extra, while perfectly smelling this sweet aromatic smoke in the environment.
  2. Quickly and energetically remove all pieces from the metal and pour them directly at that temperature into your grinder/mill without waiting. And never, ever leave them in a steaming pot as they will quickly turn bitterly useless.
2. How to make the Mignonnette technique, and avoid supermarket products in old jars?

The rule for serving a huge beef steak / tenderloin:

Many people naturally use condiments from old shelf jars that are already oxidized - a huge loss on a Tellicherry that demands to be fresh! Using the Mignonnette style with your own spoon will achieve this goal:

  1. Use the approximate dose in a granite / stone mortar and pestle of fresh peppercorns of the type: Tellicherry with thick tones or the fresh lemon-rich black Madagascar!
  2. Energetically crush these seeds into huge, very irregular flakes: this produces extra texture! This is what we call the mignonette and never in powder form like sand!
  3. Perfectly and wonderfully sear a whole excellent ossobuco/veal steak or pot chicken without black condiments initially! What the roasting would do but kill those peaks bitterly and destroy the note.
  4. At the end of these sessions, when preparing the removal on a wide plate before tasting, add the heaps of these flakes which, as the juices rest, will absorb splendidly and without losing the spicy traces its real texture with the unparalleled spicy explosion of sublime tasting.
3. The Secret To Making: Tartare and Fine Slices of Shrimp, Eel Fish! Timut!

The Nepalese Maritime Iodine-Citrus Agreement

Timut owns the highly Pink Grapefruit profiles of the sea that are perfectly idyllic to the fine touch in white fish / Chef's high-level Carpaccios!

  • Prepare the sea bass, and slice perfectly spread like shells and drizzled on a very wide large plate.
  • Give a few fine sprinkles of almonds / walnuts, or excellent olive oil accompanying the natural small squeeze with the mixture of the sea flower and the acidic touch of the squeezed lemon.
  • Finishing the presentations, next to your table crush 2 / 3 pure pieces as mentioned, as powder from Nepal and sprinkle without mills the fruity tones on top raw with a thunderous elegance at the first exotic tasting!
4. The Magic Behind Java Long Pepper Catkins (And The Slow Stew)

Infusing The Tobacco Pods Into The Slow Heat Of The Curry!

Of a rare botanical exceptionality (unlike the classic spherical Pipers which are easy to roast and which dissipate), these long condiments appreciate their robustness when cooked for a long time on the fire / pot:

  1. Organize the mixture of the dish, carrots, oxtail to the stew in the water of the pot for a gentle boil.
  2. At the same minute that you throw in and adhere the first potatoes, add the whole piece of the Long Pepper cone whose shape will resist wonderfully and soften.
  3. In a long 3 hours, without ruining the mixture by the heavily loaded level, it will perfume to the wonderful touch with a warm woody flavor of cocoa-nibs, slight flavor of good oriental sweet cinnamons to your whole meal without the incredibly pungent side! Incredible!
5. Why Indonesian Muntok is The Most Important Point for French White Milk / Cream Sauces.

Key point for the visual appearance and for your sophisticated palates of your high gastronomic school

White Muntok is extracted by releasing the wrinkled black cover. Perfect in a Bechamel, a French velouté to perfectly remove the unsightly dark spotting of ground balls in a cream dough and present civet tones!

  1. End your hot productions with stuffed peppers and mix a dense milky accompanied to the pot on the fire.
  2. At the end point turn off: give it between one and four touches grinding directly to the top of the soup spoon or your mixtures.
  3. With an absolute invisibility for the chef but containing a robust powerful point of deep / warm flavor / with wild tones perfectly harmonious to the creamy fats to the unctuousness of the rich dairy products in the dish to be served.
6. In The Style Of Origins: The Wok of Oriental Cuisines: From The Spicy Sichuan Spice: From Magic.

An anesthetic condiment to the touch for electric cooking: The Magic Chinese Berries and the traditional oriental WOK recipes:

The Red Berry is not only a "spice" but also causes that numbness or the sensation of the so-called "pétillement", the slightly electric spicy sparking so revered by the classic duck / Chinese meats in Sichuan:

  1. Roast in a pan first 2 pinches of the batch (as in Rule of tip 1 of our guide) using after grinding and adding crushed in a mortar!
  2. Stir-fry your very fine slices of beef and broccoli adding plenty of high-intensity olive oil and fresh Sesame seeds and the small fresh onion stalks.
  3. Add the juices to the Deglaze / base like dark Asian sauces to accompany the textures with the main pinch on the plate for everyone to notice and savor the divine little tickles in the mouth with the citrus! Serve hot and immediately.
7. Wild As Nobody! The Voatsiperifery Secret of How And Where To Use In Its Total Richness!

Finishing with one of the Most Coveted Spices in the World.

Voatsiperifery has those "extremely rare super essential oils" floral, root woods. It should never be introduced in an oven or stove in cooking! It is an exclusive finishing condiment for direct sprinkling of subtle touches!

  • Potatoes and carrots in Autumn and roasting: After removing from the stove, sprinkle ground direct.
  • Rich mixtures of the most complex Confectionery Intense sweet chocolates / Bitter cocoa: On the dense petit gâteau cake pouring out, introduce a slight hand-ground portion with precision into the creamy filling and it will wonderfully surprise the mixture of jungle wood flavors combined and woody!
8. The Monkfish Armoricaine Combining The Classic Madagascar Pepper!

The Rules of Acid in Extremely Rich Sauces (Reducing Fat by Cold Citrus Spicy Contrast).

It Is The Secret Of The Classic Black Madagascar! It helps the cut against its fat / rich texture by the vivacity of the lemon tone present to prick with great freshness and intensity of long finish that this seasoning has.

  1. End the preparations for the very rich traditional Armoricaine recipe with molluscs seafood sautéing Tomatoes with French Brandy with a lobster broth heavy pure cream in flames!
  2. Scald your tasty fillets and dense fish like croaker and Monkfish loin in the thick base sauce.
  3. By the plate ready to garnish on the table add vigorous grinding of 4/5 times the classic Madagascar which will contrast the sweet excesses to the greasy olive oil keeping all perfectly clean of the full mouth delighted in the lightness of the tasty marine meat in an incredible unique dish!
9. The Long Pepper Base grated on the Microplane and the Baked Brownie. The Fantasy of Sweet Doughs with The "Fake Mocha".

Java Pepper - In Incredible Uses and Powder Alternatives In The Style Of Baked Doughs in Desserts!

Resembling aspects of the elongated dark pine and tail catkins - It is quite fragile to enter the classic pepper mills - it rather needs the beautiful citrus grater of the kitchen (The classic microplane to scrape nutmeg and others!).

  1. Create a rich mixture based on melted butter the rich classics of whole Eggs to the Golds of your sugars to your mixed dish Brownies / Bread with Walnuts and Flours!

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does the discovery box of 9 peppers of the world contain?
This is an exceptional selection in a large format, packaged in resealable bags: Muntok White Pepper (250g), Cubeb Pepper (150g), Java Long Pepper (200g), Nepal Timut Berry (120g), Madagascar Black Pepper (250g), Sri Lanka Black Pepper (240g), India Tellicherry Black Pepper (250g), Voatsiperifery Wild Pepper (150g) and Red Sichuan Berry (150g).
What is the fundamental difference between a "true" pepper and a "berry" (Timut, Sichuan)?
In botanical terms, only the fruits of the Piperaceae family (black, white, green, long or cubeb pepper) can be called "pepper". Timut and Sichuan berries belong to the Rutaceae family (the citrus family!). They do not contain piperine (which provides the spicy heat), but rather sanshool, which causes the famous sensation of numbness and electric tingling on the tongue, accompanied by strong notes of lemon or grapefruit. They are the perfect allies of "true" peppers.
Why might the composition of the box change slightly sometimes?
We work with living, raw and agricultural products that are directly linked to global climatic conditions. If the quality of the harvest of a given year from a specific liana (for example, wild Voatsiperifery) does not meet our drastic standards, we prefer to replace it temporarily with a grand cru of equal or greater value (such as our exceptional smoked black pepper), to guarantee that you always have perfection in the cup.
Is this large XXL box suitable for catering professionals?
Yes, absolutely! With bags ranging from 120g to 250g per origin, this box offers the best value per gram of our entire range. It allows the chef to immediately have a complete "pepper cellar" with 9 very distinct flavor profiles to cover an entire menu, from white sauce to creative desserts.
How to store this large amount of pepper without it losing its aroma?
The opaque, resealable bags in your kit were designed exactly for this purpose. Keep them tightly closed and away from direct sunlight, heat (not above the stove) and humidity. A pepper in grains perfectly maintains its aromatic heart and essential oils for 3 to 5 years. The golden rule is never to grind or crush them until the exact moment you serve. Never fill your table mills to the brim.
