Olivier Rœllinger's words
Panniyoor pepper's woody aromas lend themselves well to grilled recipes. Panniyoor pepper has a robust, bold flavor. It's not subtle, to say the least.
Story
This pepper comes from a single pepper varietal. Paniyoor pepper plants are popular on farms in Kerala because of their high yield. The peppercorns themselves are large compared to other botanical varieities grown in the region.
In Kerala, almost 15 years ago, 17 growers agreed to harvest, select, and sort by hand their peppercorn crops according to their botanical variety instead of their size. It was a gamble that went against the grain of previous custom.
We work with sustainable producers who respect the region's biodiversity. All the peppercorns are gathered by hand on small (3-acre) jungle-farms in the middle of the forest where coffee, cocoa beans, cardamom, coconuts, and bananas are also grown.
