Peruvian Pink Pepper

Peruvian pink pepper, often sourced from the Schinus molle tree, native to the Peruvian Andes, is not a true pepper but a berry. It's sometimes referred to as the "pink peppercorn" and is renowned for its unique, aesthetic appeal and culinary uses. The berries possess a beautifully vibrant pink hue and offer a milder, sweeter alternative to traditional black peppercorns.

The scent profile of Peruvian pink pepper is quite distinctive. It features a delicate, refined aroma that balances floral and slightly sweet nuances with a faintly peppery spice. Unlike the more intense and sometimes sharp notes of black peppercorns, pink pepper from Peru delivers a softer, more rounded spicy quality that is often accompanied by hints of juniper, citrus, and a subtle peppery warmth. This makes it a favorite in perfumery, where it is valued for its ability to add depth and complexity to fragrances, offering a fresh, peppery lift with a gentle, enticing sweetness.
