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”.
Harvested on the Malabar coast then smoked using beech wood. This strong pepper has smoky and woody notes. Crack roughly with a pestle and mortar. Try it with duck breast, salmon or grilled steak.
The Amazon chilli pepper from Colombia is very a strong chilli, amongst the hottest. Its fruity notes and its subtle acidity are similar to Tabasco chillis. It is harvested before being fully ripe which explains its pale yellow colour. It will enliven exotic saucy dishes and your pre-dinner dips.
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.
