From Cameroon’s Volcanic Soil to Your Kitchen

Experience the bold, aromatic heat of authentic Cameroonian black pepper. Hand-harvested from small family farms in the fertile highlands, our peppercorns carry the distinct terroir of Central African volcanic soil—delivering a complexity you won’t find in mass-produced alternatives.

The Difference You Can Taste

Our black pepper tells a story in every grind. Unlike pre-ground pepper that loses its soul on supermarket shelves, Kontrigal peppercorns arrive whole and bursting with essential oils. The result? A warming, sharp heat balanced with floral, almost citrus notes that transform both traditional African dishes and everyday cooking.

Tasting Notes: Bold heat, earthy depth, subtle citrus undertones, lingering warmth

Farm to Plate Journey

These peppercorns are cultivated by the Nkembe farming cooperative in Cameroon’s Western Highlands, where generations of knowledge meet organic growing practices. Each berry is hand-picked at peak ripeness, sun-dried naturally, and sorted by hand to ensure only the finest peppercorns reach your kitchen.
