What is it about / Product descriptionOrganic allspice, also called Jamaican pepper or pimento, consists of whole brown berries with a warm, spicy Jamaica aroma. They combine notes of clove, cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper and are among the classics of Caribbean cuisine. At Biova you receive them as economical bulk goods for professional kitchens and discerning home cooks.Because they are harvested while still unripe, the content of essential oils in the organic allspice remains particularly high, resulting in an intense, well-rounded aroma. Gentle drying, careful cleaning and certified organic cultivation ensure consistent quality of the whole berries. Biova places great value on pure, single-origin raw material with reliable provenance.In the kitchen, organic allspice refines braised dishes, game, sausages and pickled vegetables as well as sweet pastries and desserts. Whole berries can be stored for a long time, freshly crushed in a mortar when needed or cooked whole, thus specifically flavoring stocks, soups, sauces and marinades.OriginThe allspice berries for Biova come mainly from selected growing regions in Guatemala and additionally from Mexico. Tropical warm climate, abundant rainfall and nutrient-rich soils offer ideal conditions for the allspice tree. Altitude and microclimate support the typical, multi-layered Jamaica aroma.Cultivation / Production / HarvestThe plants are grown organically without synthetic pesticides or mineral fertilizers. The berries are harvested while still green and unripe, when the proportion of essential oils is at its highest. They are then gently dried until they turn brown and are processed as whole pieces or kernels into bulk goods for Biova.Special featuresAllspice combines the aromas of clove, cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper in a single spice and is therefore particularly versatile. Whole berries release their aroma slowly and are ideal for long cooking times in braised dishes, stocks and stews. The brown color, the grain size "pieces / whole" and the practical bulk / retail variants make this spice attractive for gastronomy, manufacturers and heavy users.Differences in origin and processingDepending on the country of origin, there are subtle nuances in flavor: goods from Guatemala usually taste somewhat milder and more balanced, while allspice from Mexico tends to be stronger and spicier. Gentle drying and cleaning for Biova ensure a clear, clean aroma profile in both cases. Differences arise mainly from regional growing conditions and harvest times.Taste & smellOrganic allspice smells warm, spicy and slightly sweet with distinct notes of clove, cinnamon and nutmeg. The taste shows a medium, pepper-like heat that is rounder and softer. Its complex spiciness suits hearty dishes just as well as sweet baked goods and harmonizes well with other spices.Possible applicationsFor cooking with braised dishes, game ragouts, soups, stocks and stewsFor marinades, sausages, pickled vegetables and fruits in artisan kitchensAs an aromatic component in pastries, desserts and custom spice blendsProduct specificationCountry of origin: Guatemala, MexicoGrain size: Pieces / wholeColor: Brown

What is it about / Product descriptionPatagonia pepper is a rare Patagonian wild pepper from the south of Chile, offered by Biova as whole, black berries in spice quality. The decorative chunks come from the Magellanic winter bark and combine sweet, fruity aromas with warm spice notes.Thanks to the gentle drying of the whole berries, the essential oils are largely preserved, ensuring a stable aroma even in bulk goods. Biova relies on carefully selected raw materials from controlled collection and cultivation areas to guarantee consistent quality and a coarse chunk grading.In the kitchen, this Patagonian wild pepper is preferably freshly crushed in a mortar or coarsely chopped, as the berries are only partially suitable for classic pepper mills. This way, the characteristic sweet and spicy profile unfolds perfectly in hearty dishes and creative dessert compositions.OriginThe berries come from Patagonia in the south of Chile, with a cool, humid climate and evergreen rainforests. The slow growth of the Magellanic winter bark promotes a multi-layered aroma profile with fruity and spicy notes.Cultivation / Production / HarvestThe evergreen Drimys shrubs can grow up to 20 meters high and form fragrant white blossoms from which bluish berries develop. Harvesting takes place mainly between March and May, followed by gentle drying before the whole, black chunks are packed as bulk goods.Special featuresPatagonian wild pepper from the Drimys family differs botanically significantly from classic black pepper. The combination of a sweet, fruity character, cinnamon-like notes and a delayed, slightly numbing heat makes it a special spice for professional kitchens and ambitious home cooks in Biova quality.Differences in origin and processingDue to its origin in the Patagonian rainforest, this pepper develops a different flavor profile than tropical pepper varieties. The gentle drying of whole berries preserves the essential oils better than industrially ground products and allows for fresh processing directly before use.Taste & aromaOn the nose, the pepper is reminiscent of cinnamon, jasmine and ripe berries with a warm, spicy note. On the palate, it first appears mild, sweet and fruity before a strong, slightly numbing heat sets in, making it ideal for flavor-forward cuisine.Possible applicationsUse coarsely crushed with dark meat, game and robust braised dishes.Use as an aromatic component in dips, chutneys, marinades and sauces.Use for desserts with exotic fruits, dark chocolate or spicy compotes.Product specificationCountry of origin: ChileGrain size: chunks / wholeColor: blackSales unit: approx. 1.05 kg bulk goods per unitProduct type: food / spice

What it is / Product descriptionBiova green pepper offers a fresh, herbaceous heat and a naturally green colour that visibly accentuates dishes. The coarsely cracked berries from Sri Lanka are gently dried and then granulated, creating an intensely aromatic spice for kitchens and food production.Because the berries are directly dehydrated after harvest, they do not ferment and retain their clear, unadulterated flavour. The coarse grain ensures an even distribution in the dish and distinctive pepper points when biting, which facilitates use in gastronomy, artisan production and the food industry.In the kitchen, green pepper can be used in many ways – from pepper sauces and meat and fish dishes to fruity components. The cracked, granulated form is ready to use, saves the grinding process in the mill and integrates efficiently into professional workflows with Biova spices.OriginThe pepper plants grow in the central highlands of Sri Lanka on predominantly small, family-run plantations. Tropical climate, high humidity and nutrient-rich soils promote even growth and an aromatic pepper profile in stable Biova quality.Cultivation / Production / HarvestThe berries are still harvested by hand when green and unripe, when the aroma is particularly fresh and vegetal. Immediately after picking, they are gently dehydrated, after which the dried berries are coarsely cracked, resulting in a well-mixable, granulated grain size.Special featuresUnlike green pepper preserved in brine, this dry variant retains its natural inherent flavour in full. The combination of coarse structure, green colour, bright heat and bulk packaging makes the spice ideal for spice blends, decorative applications and higher consumption volumes as a conventional phase-out item.Differences in origin and processingGreen pepper from Sri Lanka is known for its fresh, slightly fruity and herbaceous aroma, which sets it apart from the stronger qualities of other growing regions. Immediate dehydration directly after harvest prevents fermentation into black pepper and preserves the green colour as well as the milder, clearly structured pepper profile.Taste & aromaSensory-wise, the spice shows a bright, pleasant heat with vegetal, slightly fruity notes. Its aroma is expressive without being dominant and harmonises well with herbs and other spices, while the coarse grain provides clearly perceptible pepper accents when eating.Possible applicationsSeasoning meat dishes such as pork, chicken, veal, steaks as well as fish and seafood.Preparation of classic pepper sauces, cream sauces, stocks, marinades and spice blends in gastronomy and catering.Delicate seasoning of fruity components such as strawberries, pineapple or mango for refined desserts and starters.Product specificationCountry of origin: Sri LankaGrain size: granulated / cracked / coarseColour: greenProduct type: conventional bulk goods, phase-out itemWeight per unit: approx. 1.05 kg per unit

What is it about / Product descriptionBiova Tellicherry pepper comes from Kerala in southern India on the Malabar Coast and is one of the most aromatic varieties of black pepper. The almost fully ripe berries are coarsely cracked, creating a rustic, granulated structure with a black to reddish-brown color. The warm, multi-layered aroma with rounded heat makes this bulk product particularly interesting for professional kitchens and ambitious home cooks.Due to the late harvest as a late-harvest pepper, a complex flavor profile with nutty and woody notes develops, clearly setting it apart from standard pepper. Biova relies on gentle sun-drying and careful cleaning before the pepper is granulated, so that the essential oils are preserved as well as possible. The coarse grind ensures even release of aroma and a striking appearance on the plate.In the kitchen, cracked Tellicherry pepper proves to be particularly versatile – from steaks and roasts to vegetable stir-fries, sauces and marinades. Ideally, use the coarse grind only towards the end of the cooking time or directly at the table to fully exploit the aroma. This way you make use of the typical warmth and depth of this Indian pepper from Biova in both classic and creative dishes.OriginThe pepper comes from the Periyar Nature Reserve in the state of Kerala on the Malabar Coast in India. Tropical climate, nutrient-rich soils and lush vegetation offer ideal conditions for pepper vines. Smallholder farms supply the berries, which are selected for Biova according to defined quality criteria.Cultivation / Production / HarvestThe plants grow on supports in the shade of taller trees and are harvested when almost fully ripe, once the berries have turned reddish-brown. After harvesting, they are dried in the sun until the skin is dark and aroma-tight. The corns are then cleaned, sorted and coarsely granulated to obtain an even cracked grind as bulk goods.Special featuresAs Tellicherry late-harvest pepper, only a small part of the crop reaches this quality. The combination of almost fully ripe harvest, careful drying and coarse granulation gives it its warm, slightly nutty aroma. For high-throughput kitchens, Biova offers consistent, reliable quality in a practical catering-size unit.Differences in origin and processingCompared to standard pepper harvested earlier, the aroma of this Indian specialty is more intense, less sharp-edged and significantly more complex. The cracked, granulated form differs from whole corns through faster aroma release and a distinctive texture. This makes the pepper particularly suitable for applications where seasoning should be visibly and sensorially present.Taste & aromaSensorially, it shows a robust, warm pepper flavor with balanced, long-lasting heat. Nutty, woody nuances as well as a subtle sandalwood- or tea-like spice shape the profile. The scent is intense, spicy and long-lasting without being overpowering.Possible applicationsSeasoning steaks, roasts, game and poultry before or after cookingFinishing sauces, soups, stews and marinades with coarse pepper heatRefining vegetable stir-fries, pasta, grilled vegetables or cheese plattersProduct specificationCountry of origin: IndiaGrind size: granulated / cracked / coarseColor: black to reddish-brownProduct type: Food, spice, bulk goodsWeight per unit: approx. 1.05 kg per unit

What it is / Product descriptionVoatsiperifery pepper from the wild rainforests of Madagascar is a rare pepper specialty with irregular, whole black corns. Also known as Bourbon pepper or forest pepper, this variety is offered by Biova primarily as high-quality bulk goods for gastronomy, delicatessens and spice manufacturers.Thanks to its slow ripening in the tropical climate, this wild pepper develops a complex aroma with a pleasantly warm heat. Its natural appearance, careful hand-harvesting and gentle drying ensure Biova a consistently pure, single-variety quality for professional applications.In the kitchen, Voatsiperifery pepper shows its strengths especially in hearty dishes, dark sauces and aromatic braised dishes.

Nutrient-rich soils, high humidity and natural tree shade promote the slow ripening of the berries and shape the typical character of this forest pepper.Cultivation / Production / HarvestVoatsiperifery grows as a liana that climbs up trees to a height of up to 20 meters and is not cultivated in classic plantation farming. The ripe red berries are harvested by smallholders by hand, gently dried and then cleaned and selected before being processed by Biova as whole corns.Special featuresWith a global annual harvest of only about 1.5–2 tons, this forest pepper is one of the rare pepper varieties. As it is not suitable for plantations and remains available exclusively as a wild product, it combines limited availability with artisanal harvesting and an independent aroma profile – ideal for delicatessens, gastronomy and the spice industry.Differences in origin and processingCompared to classic black pepper from plantation cultivation, Voatsiperifery pepper shows a more rustic appearance with slight differences in size and shape of the corns. The wild growth remains visible, while Biova’s close cooperation with local partners ensures gentle processing and consistent quality of the whole black corns.Taste & aromaFrom a sensory perspective, this wild pepper from Madagascar impresses with a finely balanced, warm heat that seasons dishes without overpowering them. Earthy nuances combine with fruity-lemony notes and a slightly resinous, exotic pepper bouquet that gives dishes depth and freshness.Possible applicationsUse freshly ground with game, lamb, beef and dark poultry.Refine dark sauces, braised dishes, ragouts and stocks with aromatic depth.Use whole corns for pepper blends, mill fillings or pickling brines.Product specificationCountry of origin: MadagascarGrain size: Broken / wholeColor: BlackProduct type: Food, spice, bulk goodsWeight per unit: approx. 1.05 kg per unit
