VOATSIPERIFERY
What Makes Wild Pepper Distinctive?
Unlike standard black pepper, Voatsiperifery is a distinctive pepper variety native to Madagascar.
Its naturally small, whole berries are supplied in Grade A quality, with a defined piperine content of 4–8%. Each batch is assessed for moisture, berry uniformity and foreign matter to meet the requirements of professional ingredient sourcing.

From Hand Harvest to Whole Berry
Voatsiperifery pepper is hand-harvested between August and December.
After harvesting, the berries are sun-dried in two stages. First, they are dried for 1–2 days to separate the berries from their stems and bunches. They are then dried for another 14–20 days to ensure more even drying.
Once dried, the whole berries are sorted and prepared for packaging, ready for use in seasoning blends, gourmet cooking and food manufacturing.

A Structured Approach
Each batch undergoes quality checks before shipment. The berries are inspected for colour, firmness, uniformity and foreign matter. After sorting, they are re-checked at the warehouse and passed through metal detection to identify unwanted metal particles.
The product is then conditioned and packaged in Antananarivo according to each order's requirements.
