Madagascar Pink Peppercorns

Madagascar Pink Peppercorns — The ruby jewels of your plates

Our Madagascar pink peppercorns (Schinus terebinthifolius) are ripe drupes hand-picked at the optimal moment of maturity. Their vivid ruby color and sweet, fruity flavor make them the most elegant and decorative condiment in our collection.

Aromatic profile

Notes of red berries, pine resin, sweet juniper and dried rose. Lightly peppery but without pronounced heat — quite different from true peppers (Piper). A delicate floral, fruity profile, ideal for preparations where finesse is preferred over heat.

Recommended uses

Whole or lightly crushed, as a finishing touch. Pair beautifully with fine fish, shellfish, foie gras, soft cheeses and carpaccio. In pastry: decorating and flavoring chocolates, macarons and red berry tartlets. A few berries in a vinaigrette create a surprising aromatic elegance.

Storage

Store in an airtight jar, away from light and humidity. Avoid impacts that could break their fragile shells. Optimal shelf life: 12 to 24 months.

Frequently asked questions

Are pink peppercorns actual pepper?
No, botanically they are not true peppers (Piper genus). They are drupes from the cashew family (Anacardiaceae), like the cashew nut. Their mild peppery flavor comes from different terpenes than piperine.

Can they cause allergies?
Pink peppercorns belong to the Anacardiaceae family (cashew, pistachio, mango). People allergic to these foods should avoid them. For everyone else, they are perfectly safe in normal culinary use.
