Cameroon Penja White Pepper, often considered one of the great peppers of the world, is a rare and precious pepper grown in the fertile region of Penja. This town, nestled in the Moungo department, is famous for its banana plantations and now for its pepper, which obtained the very first PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) awarded to a product from the African continent.

Like the famous Malabar or Tellicherry peppers, Penja Pepper is a cultivar of Piper nigrum, the species behind all round peppers, whether black, white, green, or red. Pepper cultivation in Penja is a tradition, where each grain is sun-dried and hand-harvested without mechanization, preserving the pepper's quality and artisanal character.

The volcanic terroir of Penja gives these peppercorns a delicate flavor and a characteristic acidity, making this pepper a preferred choice to flavor meats, especially red meat.

Penja White Pepper comes from the final ripening stage of the cluster, distinguishing itself by its purity and intensity. The absence of the pericarp (which contains most of the surface piperine) makes the heat milder and subtler at first, but the volcanic mineral infusion provides a characteristic acidic vivacity and an exceptional length on the palate.

Penja White Pepper offers an incomparable tasting palette: robust and wild, it is characterized by a mild heat, subtle acidity, and remarkable persistence in the mouth. Its woody, amber, civet, and musky notes bring a unique aromatic dimension to your dishes. For a less intense flavor, simply moderate the quantity.

Penja Pepper, the first product from Moungo in Cameroon to obtain a PGI, is an exceptional condiment. Arnaud Sion, a recognized expert, has contributed to its fame in recipes presented on our YouTube channel.
