The History of African Peppers

Penja pepper, cultivated on the volcanic soils of Cameroon, is one of the most renowned, with its Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status obtained in 2013, symbolizing global recognition of its exceptional quality. Other peppers, such as the wild Likouala pepper from the tropical forests of Congo or the white pepper from Sao Tome, sourced from the archipelago off the coast of Central Africa, tell the story of a unique biodiversity and ancestral know-how passed down from generation to generation.
