What Makes Orlandosidee® Black Pepper Unique?
This outstanding Cameroonian black pepper is cultivated in volcanic regions known for their nutrient-rich soils, which enhance the pepper’s aromatic depth and sharpness. The peppercorns are harvested by hand by local women when they reach optimal ripeness.
After harvesting, the green peppercorns are sun-dried in the tropical climate of Cameroon. This natural process causes the outer layer to oxidize and turn black, resulting in their signature wrinkled surface and rich, spicy aroma.

Origin and Cultivation
Black pepper is native to tropical regions and is widely cultivated in India, Vietnam, Brazil, Indonesia, and Malaysia. In Africa, Cameroon stands out for its small-scale farms, where pepper is cultivated using traditional methods to preserve its exceptional quality.
Historical Significance
Black pepper reached Europe as early as the era of Alexander the Great, initially introduced from India. Although long pepper was more well-known at first, black pepper quickly gained popularity and became a symbol of wealth in medieval times.
During the Middle Ages, the spice was so valuable that sermons warned against its use in excess—ironically increasing its desirability. Today, black pepper is a universal spice, though its rich history remains embedded in culinary culture.
