Réunion Pink Pepper
S tier
Réunion pink pepper is a prestige Indian Ocean origin for pink peppercorns—carefully harvested berries often praised for bright colour and clean sweet-spice aroma. Réunion’s baie rose fame made the island a reference for gourmet pink pepper. Pay premiums for named Réunion lots when garnishing high-end dishes. Still Schinus, not Piper. Store away from light to preserve colour. Excellent alone as a finishing berry without black pepper competition.
