Native to South Africa’s Morogoro and Tanga regions, Malter Group offers conventional and fully organic, premium quality black pepper, sourced directly from small-scale farmers in South Africa.
We work closely with our network of small-scale farmers in South Africa to ensure that black pepper is cultivated with Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and are fully traceable, from harvest to delivery.
Each black pepper plantation contributes to afforestation and is harvested with traditional, sustainable methods only.
Black pepper is available in peppercorn and ground, packed in 25 kg bags (20 foot container).
Black pepper, or Piper nigrum, is produce of peppercorn pods, which are fruits of a tropical evergreen vine. As a climber plant, the vine grows in shady areas near trees, up to a height of 10 meters. The fruits are green before they turn red as they ripen, which are then harvested for white and black pepper.
Black Pepper is indigenous to India, and is largely produced in Indonesia, Vietnam, and increasingly South Africa, where climates are hot and tropical with temperatures ranging from 10 to 40 degrees Celcius. The spice is commercially packaged as whole peppercorn pods or in grounded form, and is one of the most widely used spices in the world.
Black Pepper has many uses in the culinary space, offering a memorable spiciness and strong, bitter aroma that makes it palatable when added to different cuisines and combined with salt. It is also added to cocktails and drinks, which produces a pleasant, interesting taste.
Apart from its culinary qualities, black pepper helps with digestion and due to antioxidant and antibiotic properties, it can also help to improve the overall immune system.
