Yupanqui Black Pepper

55g

Max Daumin

Max Daumin presents the distinguished Yupanqui black pepper, a unique variety of pepper from the Manabi region of Ecuador.
Earning the esteemed title of Epicure d'Argent 2021 in the Spices category,
this pepper stands as a testament to the dedication of a proud lineage of Inca farmers who have nurtured it for three decades.
It's heralded as arguably the most potent pepper globally, renowned for its multifaceted flavour profile - interweaving notes of eucalyptus, mint, and camphor. In essence, there's nothing quite like the Yupanqui pepper.
Aromatic hints of cocoa, orange, tangelo, and cinnamon cassia gracefully tease the senses.
When tasted, an intense warmth engulfs the palate after a mere 3 seconds, soon unfolding into the vibrant flavours of wild mango and ripe orange. This pepper's character is undeniably both fruity and formidable.
The journey of the Yupanqui black pepper begins with the handpicking of the green peppercorns. After boiling, they're left to dry in the open air. Natural oxidation gives the peppercorns their characteristic black colour.
This pepper acts as a flavour enhancer, perfect for meats, fish, and vegetables.

For optimal flavours, grind this pepper over your plate just before serving, using a dedicated pepper mill.
