What Makes Orlandosidee Black Pepper Unique?
This extraordinary Cameroonian black pepper is cultivated on volcanic soil, known for its high mineral content, which imparts a distinctive character and bold aroma to the pepper. Continuing a long-standing tradition, the pepper is hand-picked by local women when it reaches perfect ripeness.
After harvesting, the green peppercorns are sun-dried in the tropical climate of Cameroon. During this process, the outer layer ferments and turns black, giving the pepper its wrinkled appearance and deep, complex flavor.

A Brief History of Black Pepper in Europe
Black pepper first reached Europe during the time of Alexander the Great, following its introduction from India. Initially overshadowed by the long pepper, it quickly gained popularity and became a staple in European cuisine.
In the Middle Ages, black pepper was a symbol of wealth and prestige. Despite its widespread use today, its history reflects its status as a prized spice. Clergy even inadvertently promoted it by warning against its "excessive" use during sermons, sparking curiosity and demand.
