History & Traditions :
Black Pepper is native to India, Madagascar, Brazil but also Malaysia. It was considered "black gold" in the Middle Ages thus bringing many conflicts. Nowadays, we use it commonly in the kitchen or in perfumes, to give a spicy note.
It is a climbing tree that can be several meters high. Its fruit, black, is fermented and then dried to obtain the black pepper as we know it.
