Whole verbena pepper from Vietnam, 1 kg bulk

Product description

Verbena pepper from Vietnam is a mild pepper spice with a clear citrus note and fine bitter tones. The whole pepper berries have an aroma reminiscent of lemon verbena and are particularly suitable for functional foods and food supplements.

Biova supplies these pepper chunks as standardised 1 kg bulk units that integrate reliably into industrial processes. The coarse particle size allows flexible downstream processing from coarse to fine.

In product development, verbena pepper can be used in many ways, for example in capsules, powder blends or granulated applications. This enables formulations with a fresh, lemony-peppery note that clearly stands out from classic black pepper.

Origin

The pepper berries come from Vietnam, from warm, predominantly tropical growing regions with high levels of sunshine. Well-drained soils promote the development of essential oils and the typical citrus nuances that Biova specifically selects for this spice.

Cultivation / processing / harvest

The plants are conventionally cultivated and harvested at optimum ripeness. After hand picking, the berries are gently dried, cleaned, carefully sorted and packed as whole chunks in 1 kg units for industrial processing.

Key features

Compared to classic pepper, this spice offers a distinctly fresher, citrus-forward profile with mild heat. The chunk form supplied in bulk by Biova allows on-demand grinding directly in production and supports precise flavour dosing.

Variations in origin and processing

Depending on altitude and microclimate, the intensity of the citrus note and the fine bitter tones varies slightly. Material from higher regions often appears more elegant and fresher, while lower altitudes bring out spicier nuances; Biova’s standardised processes ensure consistent sensory quality.

Taste & aroma

On the nose, fresh citrus and lemon verbena notes dominate, underpinned by mild pepper heat. On the palate, there is a harmonious interplay of gentle pungency, light bitter accents and a clear, citrus-like finish, making it an interesting alternative to conventional pepper.
