Spice for Life Red & Black Phu Quoc Pepper

German packaging: Rot Schwarzer Phu Quoc Pfeffer

The Phu Quoc pepper is a rare pepper from Vietnam. It is obtained directly from Vietnamese farmers who harvest and select the peppercorns by hand. Timing is important here: shortly before the grains begin to dry on the panicle, they have to be harvested so that the colour, texture and flavour are optimally preserved. The yield of this pepper is also relatively low as the plants have to be pruned again and again so that the existing peppercorns develop their full flavour.

The fruity, intense aroma has a slight cinnamon note and cannot be compared with any other type of pepper. The subtle spiciness only really comes out on the finish. The red and black Phu Quoc pepper goes particularly well with fish and vegetables.
