A Plantation in the Heart of Lush Nature

This pepper is cultivated following the principles of organic agriculture in the northern part of Costa Rica, in the province of Heredia - one of the most biodiverse regions in Costa Rica. The plots are located at an altitude of 37 meters above sea level, on flat terrain with a humid climate (annual precipitation can reach up to 3,874 mm). The region is rich in powerful and meandering rivers, surrounded by primary forests, and teeming with abundant wildlife and flora.

Origins of White Costa Rica Pepper

The cultivation of pepper in the region dates back to the 1950s. The climate and soil characteristics are perfect for producing a high-quality product. Costa Rican pepper is known for its high concentration of piperine. Typically, the concentration in pepper from other regions of the world is around 4%. Here, this concentration can reach up to 7%, making Costa Rican pepper quite unique and interesting. Our producer also grows lemons, and these two crops coexist harmoniously.
