Madagascar Peppercorns & Berries
Read more
Madagascar pepper comes in several grains: black, white, wild under the name voatsiperifery, and the pink peppercorn, from a different botanical genus. This collection brings together the four peppers, the pink peppercorns and their blend, all from our family production. To get your bearings, our guide to Madagascar peppers and berries covers each grain in detail.
One land, four different grains
Our family grows and harvests these peppers and pink peppercorns at Vangaindrano, in the southeast of Madagascar, a different terroir from our vanilla, which comes from the SAVA region. Black pepper and white pepper are the same fruit, Piper nigrum, grown on a vine; voatsiperifery is Piper borbonense, picked by hand in the wild. The pink peppercorn comes from Schinus terebinthifolius, a tree related to the mango tree: it does not belong to the Piper genus. Direct sale, no middleman, from field or forest straight to your kitchen.
What the collection includes, and in which format
Each pepper comes in a resealable kraft pouch at a tiered price, in a refillable grinder for everyday grinding, and in a pack combining the two. Voatsiperifery also comes in a 100 g or 250 g jute bag, for larger kitchens. The table compares the five references.

How to choose between the four peppers
Madagascar black pepper is the hottest and woodiest grain: the default choice for red meat. Madagascar white pepper, stripped of its skin, is milder and does not colour light sauces. Wild voatsiperifery pepper, picked in the forest, offers woody and floral notes, less sharp than black pepper but highly aromatic. Madagascar pink peppercorns bring a soft, fruity note, to both savoury and sweet dishes. The blend of the four peppers and berries brings all four profiles together in a single grinder.
In the kitchen
The four grains are best ground at the last moment: their aromas are volatile. Fine grind for sauces and fish, medium for meat, crushed in a mortar for marinades. Black pepper and voatsiperifery pair well with turmeric, ginger or Bourbon vanilla; pink peppercorns go on at the end of cooking, over dark chocolate or fish.
Storage
Whole grains, away from heat, light and humidity, pouch or grinder well resealed. Only grind just before serving: that is what keeps the flavour intact.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between black pepper, white pepper and wild voatsiperifery pepper?
Black pepper and white pepper come from the same fruit, Piper nigrum: black is harvested green then sun-dried, white is harvested ripe then stripped of its skin, for a milder taste. Voatsiperifery is a different species, Piper borbonense, picked by hand in the wild: smaller grains, woody and floral notes, less sharp than black pepper.
Are pink peppercorns a true pepper?
No. The pink peppercorn comes from Schinus terebinthifolius, a tree related to the mango tree and the cashew tree. It does not belong to the Piper genus, that of black pepper, white pepper and wild pepper. Its thin skin bursts rather than crushes, for a soft, fruity taste, barely peppery in the finish.
Which format should you choose: pouch, grinder or pack?
The grinder serves fresh grinding at the table. The pouch refills this grinder, in 50 g or 250 g for the peppers and 30 g or 250 g for the pink peppercorns, at a tiered price. The pack combines the two. For voatsiperifery, the 100 g or 250 g jute bag suits larger kitchens.
What are the uses of the blend of the four peppers and pink peppercorns?
The blend brings together, in a single pouch or grinder, black pepper, white pepper, wild voatsiperifery pepper and pink peppercorns. It suits grilled meat, fish, roasted vegetables and salads, with a finish more floral than black pepper alone.
How much does a Madagascar pepper cost?
The starting price ranges from 3,90 € for the pink peppercorn pouch to 7,90 € for the white pepper or voatsiperifery, with black pepper at 4,50 €. Grinders start at 4,90 €. We sell direct, with no middleman: our shop shows 5,0 out of 5 from 95 verified reviews.
