A source of pleasure for gourmets worldwide
Voatsiperifery is considered one of the best peppers in the world, with a unique taste, more flavor, and less pungency than other peppers. It is endemic to Madagascar and is a source of income for people living near forests. The wild pepper is under threat of extinction and is contributing to the destruction of its habitat.
