Terre Exotique’s red Dak Lak pepper is powerfully hot Vietnamese pepper – a fantastic pairing for white meat and shellfish. As well as its pungent heat, this pepper balances notes of balsamic and fruit.Â
Originating in India, this pepper plant was first planted in Vietnam in the 17th century. To begin with, it grew mainly in Phu Quoc and Hon Chong, however nowadays, it is prominent across Vietnam, and mainly in Dak Lak, the province the pepper takes its name from.Â
Each stage of Dak Lak pepper cultivation is done by hand. The pepper is harvested when the berries are fully ripe. They are then sorted through, and only the perfect berries are selected to dry in the sun.Â
Use this pepper to season pan-fried sea bass or sprinkle over scallops.
About Terre Exotique
Terre Exotique works directly with hundreds of specialist farmers and producers around the world – to bring the very best peppers, spices and salts to our tables. The company was founded by Erwann de Kerros, a Breton and seasoned traveller. After tasting pepper in the Penja plantation in Cameroon, Kerros yearned to try other specialist peppers and spices – and Terre Exotique was born.
The company works closely with farmers to preserve natural habitats, and to ensure a sustainable income for local communities. Each spice is carefully packed in tins or glass jars – with no plastic. The metal tins preserve the flavours and aroma of your spice, by protecting them from sunlight. So the ingredients stay at their best for longer.
