Aromas and Flavors of Oyster Pepper

6 Crushed Peppers to Reveal Iodine Flavors

A blend that perfectly marries with iodine, composed of Voatsiperifery black pepper, cubeb pepper, Penja white pepper, Timur berry, and Jamaican berry. Voatsiperifery black pepper originates from Madagascar, its name comes from "voa" meaning fruit and "tsiperifery" which is the name of the plant in Malagasy. Voatsiperifery grows wild in the tropical forest of southeastern Madagascar. This "wild pepper" only fruits on young shoots.

Cubeb pepper originates from Southwest India, Sumatra, Java, and Borneo. It is a small peppercorn with a tail harvested in Indonesia. Cubeb pepper is obtained from berries, harvested before maturity, dried, and ground.

Penja white pepper is the fruit of a giant vine: Piper nigrum. It grows on a tree with rough and cracked bark that facilitates its ascent, often up to four meters high. Its pollination is carried out by the frequent rain in the Moungo region. The rich and fertile volcanic soils of Cameroon give Penja pepper an exceptional aroma and concentration of essential oils.

Of Nepalese origin, Timur berry is harvested from small endemic trees of the Zanthoxylum armatum species from the Rutaceae family. It grows wild in the Mahabharat range between the Terai and the Pahar, at over 2000 meters altitude.

The Jamaican berry is a dried fruit. It comes from a tree named Pimenta dioica which can reach up to 30 meters in height. Originally from Jamaica, Mexico, and the islands of Cuba and Haiti, the Jamaican berry is increasingly spreading in Brazil and Guatemala.

Where Does Oyster Pepper Come From?

The Story of a Richly Aromatic Blend

At the end of the 18th century, eating live oysters was fashionable. In the book "La Cuisine Bourgeoise" dating from 1774, it is mentioned that they "are usually eaten raw with pepper". Terre Exotique's goal was to create a blend that could reveal all the aromas of the oyster and iodine; thus, oyster pepper was born, a blend rich in aromas that gives full place to iodine once in the mouth.
