Net volumes and weights: 50ml / 48g / 1.69oz

The volcanic soil of the Bolaven Plateau in southern Laos, rich in minerals, combined with a rainy climate, at an altitude of 650m offers superior conditions to produce the highest quality pepper.

Our producer started with a handful of peppercorns and developed his plantation day after day with the utmost rigor. Instead of cutting precious woods in the rainforest, he chose to plant a variety of support trees that can grow with the pepper vines. The result is a pepper forest giving local birds a wonderful refuge.

The pepper we offer is the result of years of meticulous care, and a selection of the best certified organic peppercorns.

Our Boloven pepper is generous with a remarkable density, rich in essential oil. It is adorned with a cream-colored hue with well-defined streaks. On the nose, a soft, creamy fragrance with pastry notes of butter and brioche. The crunch is supple and the aromas appear gradually, without excessive spiciness leaving a certain freshness on the palate. The aromas remain milky, accompanied by pleasant touches of elderberry. A nice length in the mouth completes this subtle and elegant pepper.
