What it is / Product descriptionOrganic Sichuan pepper is one of the most distinctive spices in Chinese cuisine.

Biova offers this organic spice as whole pods, ideal for the authentic preparation of Asian dishes.Gentle drying and careful cleaning optimally preserve the essential oils and the complex aroma. The pepper is intensely spicy, but not hot like black pepper; instead, it leaves a slightly numbing, lemony-fresh sensation on the tongue. The whole quality allows you to crush the husks in a mortar as needed or grind them fresh in a mill.In creative cooking, organic Sichuan pepper opens up numerous possible uses – from wok dishes and marinades to modern fusion recipes.

After ripening, the fruit husks are harvested by hand, carefully sorted and gently dried.

This results in the characteristic interplay of lemony freshness, spice and a slightly numbing effect. The reddish-brown color and whole form also make the spice visually attractive for decorative applications.Differences in origin and processingDepending on the growing region in China, the aroma notes vary between more citrus-fresh and warm-spicy.

What is it about / Product descriptionOrganic allspice, also called Jamaican pepper or pimento, is a warm, spicy whole spice with notes of clove, cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper. The brown, whole berries from Guatemala and Mexico are classics of Caribbean cuisine. At Biova you receive them as economical bulk goods for professional kitchens and ambitious home cooks.Because it is harvested unripe, the content of essential oils in organic allspice remains particularly high, resulting in an intense, well-rounded aroma.

What is it about / Product descriptionPatagonia pepper is a rare 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. Visually, the dark berries are reminiscent of coarsely broken peppercorns and are ideal for a creative, aroma-focused cuisine.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 in Patagonia to ensure consistent quality. The coarse granulation as chunks allows individual dosing and fresh processing directly before use.In use, Patagonian wild pepper is preferably freshly crushed in a mortar or roughly chopped, as the berries are only partially suitable for classic pepper mills.

This special pepper can also be used to create exciting accents in desserts or chocolate creations.OriginThe berries come from Patagonia in the south of Chile, a region with a cool, humid climate and evergreen rainforests. The slow growth of the Magellanic winter bark under these conditions promotes a multi-layered aroma profile with fruity and spicy notes. Biova sources the raw material directly from selected collection and cultivation areas where the sustainable use of wild stocks is a priority.Cultivation / Production / HarvestThe evergreen shrubs of the Drimys genus can grow up to 20 meters high and bear fragrant white flowers from which bluish berries develop. Harvesting takes place mainly between March and May, when the fruits have reached their full aroma. They are then gently dried and prepared as whole, black chunks for further processing and filling 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 an exceptional spice for professional kitchens and ambitious home cooks. In Biova quality, grinding is deliberately avoided in order to preserve the full aroma potential of the whole berries.Differences in origin and processingDue to its origin in the Patagonian rainforest, this pepper develops a different flavor profile than tropical pepper varieties from classic growing regions. Gentle drying and preserving the whole berries protect the essential oils better than industrially ground products. When freshly crushed in a mortar, the aromatic difference becomes particularly evident in the kitchen.Taste & aromaOn the nose, the pepper is reminiscent of cinnamon, jasmine and ripe berries, accompanied by a warm, spicy note. On the palate, it initially appears mild, sweet and fruity before a strong, slightly numbing heat sets in. This complex profile makes it ideal for creative applications in which spices play a key role.Possible applicationsCoarsely crushed with dark meat, game and hearty stewsAs an aromatic component in dips, chutneys, marinades and saucesFor desserts with exotic fruits, dark chocolate or spicy compotesProduct specificationCountry of origin: ChileGranulation: Chunks / wholeColor: BlackSales unit: approx. 1.05 kg bulk goods per unitProduct type: Food / Spice

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.

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 jungle pepper, this variety is offered by Biova primarily as high-quality bulk goods for gastronomy, delicatessens and spice manufacturers. Its natural appearance and careful processing make it a distinctive ingredient for sophisticated pepper blends.Thanks to slow ripening in the tropical climate, this wild pepper develops a complex aroma with pleasantly warm heat. Traditional hand harvesting, gentle drying and careful selection of the whole corns help to preserve the essential oils and aromatic compounds as well as possible. Biova works closely with local producers to ensure consistent quality and a clean, single-origin spice for professional applications.In the kitchen, Voatsiperifery pepper shows its strengths especially in hearty dishes, dark sauces and aromatic braised dishes. Freshly ground, it gives game, lamb and dark poultry an earthy yet fruity-lemony note with an exotic character. This Biova specialty is also ideally suited for mill fillings, pepper blends and pickling brines.OriginThis wild pepper comes exclusively from the tropical rainforests of Madagascar, mainly from the humid regions of the east coast. Nutrient-rich soils, high humidity and natural tree shade provide ideal conditions for the slow ripening of the berries. As the plants are not cultivated, the typical character of wild growth is fully preserved.Cultivation / Production / HarvestVoatsiperifery pepper grows as a liana that climbs up trees to a height of up to 20 meters. The ripe red berries are harvested by smallholders in laborious manual work and then gently dried until they take on their dark, almost black color. Afterwards, the whole corns are cleaned, selected and prepared as bulk goods for Biova.Special featuresWith a global annual harvest of only about 1.5–2 tons, this jungle pepper is one of the rare pepper varieties. It is not suitable for plantation cultivation and remains a pure wild product with limited availability. This combination of rarity, artisanal harvesting and exceptional aroma makes it particularly interesting for delicatessens, gastronomy and the spice industry.Differences in origin and processingCompared to classic black pepper from plantation cultivation, Madagascan jungle pepper has a more rustic appearance with slight differences in size and shape. Its natural look reflects its wild growth, while Biova’s close cooperation with local partners ensures gentle processing and consistent quality of the whole corns.Taste & aromaFrom a sensory perspective, Voatsiperifery pepper impresses with finely balanced, warm heat that unfolds harmoniously without overpowering.
