The outstanding character and flavour of this black Penja pepper are due to the naturally rich and balanced volcanic soils in which it grows. In 2014, it became the first product of the African continent to obtain Protected Geographic Indication status (PGI). This black Penja pepper will delight your stews, goat cheese and strong flavoured meats.
This confit is made from fresh mangoes and white Penja pepper.
It can be enjoyed with game, with cooked cheeses (Emmental, Comté …) or with a tasty toast of foie gras.
Originally from northern Congo, Likouala pepper, also known as “Ashandi pepper”, is harvested by the Baakas tribe. Ashanti pepper grows in the wild on vines which creep up more than 20 metres high. Outstanding lingering taste. Used in the traditional Congolese dish: “Ashanti grilled chicken”.
