THE BLACK PEPPER PROVIDED BY SUPPLIER

In the 80's, Antônio Nunes and Co. Lt. was founded, specialized in sales of spices and grains in the Southern Region of Bahia. It is a familiar company which has been growing and reaching new markets.

Black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) is a climbing plant native to India and introduced in Brazil in the seventeenth century by the Japanese. It is the most important spice marketed worldwide and is widely used as a condiment.

According to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), the Brazilian production of black pepper, when there is no unforeseen climate, is around 40,000 tons per year, the states of Pará, Espírito Santo and Bahia account for 75%, 15 % and 9%, respectively, of domestic production, of which 85% of annual production is exported.

The black pepper harvest in Brazil occurs from August to October in Pará and July in Espirito Santo, and may vary in cases of climate change. To identify a quality pepper, just check whether it is white or light inside and its density. In this condition, it retains all its oils, and is a guarantee of a good seasoning and a fantastic natural preservative..
