Madagascar Green Pepper

Madagascar Green Pepper — Vegetal freshness and delicate heat

Our Madagascar green pepper (Piper nigrum) is harvested before full ripeness, which gives it its characteristic green color and a distinctive aromatic profile: fresh, herbaceous and lightly spicy — ideal for cooks seeking a milder alternative to black pepper.

Aromatic profile

Fresh, vegetal notes, light acidity and moderate heat. The profile evokes fresh grass, herbs and floral undertones. Much milder than black pepper, it adds freshness without overpowering delicate preparations.

Recommended uses

Green pepper sauces (steak, duck breast, filet mignon); fish and seafood cooked en papillote or steamed; fresh cheeses, terrines and fine charcuterie; light marinades for poultry and vegetables. Add at the end of cooking to preserve aromatic freshness.

Storage

Store in an airtight jar, away from heat and light. Optimal shelf life: 12 to 24 months. Grind just before use to preserve aromatic freshness.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference from black pepper?
Green pepper is harvested before ripeness, hence its color and fresher, milder profile. Black pepper is the same berry harvested later and dried — a warmer, woodier, more powerful profile.

Can it be used in a classic pepper sauce?
Absolutely. Green pepper sauce is a traditional recipe: sauté the whole or lightly crushed berries with shallot, deglaze with cognac and finish with crème fraîche.
