While black pepper is called the spice king, cardamom takes the title of the spice queen, partly because of the importance it has held in the spice trade, but also because it is the second most expensive spice in weight after saffron. Cardamom is expensive because it grows in remote places.
IGP certified black pepper from Penja Valley – arguably the best black pepper in the world.
The black peppercorns from Cameroon have a fresh spice aroma with forest undertones of wood, musk and smoke. The taste is refined and strong, with a round and warm finish. Black Penja is extremely suited to dishes with eggs, prawns, lamb and goat and even cheese and strawberries. Considered by many as the best black pepper in the world, this IGP certified black Penja is a great addition to the Christmas/Easter table.
