Much like green pepper, black pepper is made from unripe drupes. Picked and dried in the sun for a few days, the water slowly evaporates from the green peppercorns. This drying phase means the green pepper loses its pigment and darkens, while wrinkles appear. This step gives it a full-bodied and spicy taste.
Cultivated mainly in the commune of Penja (the Littoral region) in Cameroon, on a naturally rich and balanced volcanic soil, Penja pepper is characterized by its truly exceptional character and flavor. Harvested in the traditional way (manually), the cleaning, drying and sorting methods have remained unchanged for generations.
Penja pepper is the first product in sub-Saharan Africa to benefit from a protected geographical indication (PGI). That is to say products whose typicity has a link with the terroir. The PGI thus contributes to local development and particularly in difficult and disadvantaged areas.
