Black Pepper from the Summits

The black pepper from the Summits by Max Daumin is a high-end black pepper originating from Vietnam. It is cultivated at an altitude of over 1000 meters and hand-harvested, giving it a unique and intense flavor. The pepper grains are meticulously sorted according to their size, color, and maturity, then naturally sun-dried before being packaged.

This black pepper is renowned for its deep taste and warm, earthy aroma, with slightly sweet notes and a touch of spiciness. It is ideal for enhancing the flavor of meats, fish, vegetables, soups, sauces, and many other dishes. The pepper from the Summits is highly appreciated by chefs and cooking enthusiasts worldwide for its exceptional flavor.

The pepper from the Summits, or Summits berries, is a variety of wild pepper picked in the mountains of northwestern Vietnam, in the Lai Châu region. It is distinguished by its delicate, subtle, and rare flavor, combining the sharpness of pepper and mandarin flavors with leather notes. A botanical cousin of Timur, it surprises with its slight spiciness, tangy notes, leather hints, and mandarin aromas.

This spice is often used in Vietnamese cuisine to season meats, vegetables, soups, and rice dishes. It is also used in spice blends for traditional Vietnamese dishes such as phở and bún chả.

To fully appreciate its flavors, we recommend grinding it with a suitable pepper mill at the time of tasting.
