Voatsiperifery Organic is a wild pepper harvested by hand by Madagascan villagers in humid tropical forest areas. This pepper tree grows wild and is not cultivated, but is grown on an organic plot. A wonderful encounter for this pepper, not to be confused with cubeb.

Description
Further information

Organic Voatsiperifery is a wild pepper harvested by hand by Madagascan villagers in humid tropical forest areas. It grows wild and is not cultivated, but some plots, including this one, are now certified organic. Harvesting is difficult, as this liana climbs up to 20 meters on dense tropical forest trees. And it only bears fruit on the young shoots, i.e. at the very top...
This wild harvesting explains why this product contains berries at various stages of ripeness: green berries (black after drying) and red berries. Often mistaken locally for the cubeb because of its small tail, it differs in having smaller berries and a twisted tail.
A rare and little-known spice, even in Madagascar, it gives off a woody scent with earthy notes, but also hints of fruit, citrus and flowers... It also has an incisive, tenacious yet gentle freshness and spiciness. It is similar to long pepper and cubeb. The Reunion variety is slightly more aniseed-flavored.
It goes well with meats such as pork and lamb, but also with fruit (strawberries, pears) and even chocolate... voa: meaning fruit, tsiperifery: the Malagasy name for the plant.
