Wild, from the forests of Central Africa, with a trace of smoke. Also known as Likouala pepper, the Gorilla Wild Peppercorn from Place des Épices is a benchmark among original peppers. Only mildly pungent, it reveals subtle smoky notes and a woody warmth. Grind it over grilled red meat, game, or duck, add it to a slow-cooked stew, or try it over a dark chocolate dessert.
