Épices Rœllinger Collection Of Chilli Peppers<Rodrigues Island Ti Piment F8

This chili pepper, typical of Rodrigues Island, is very strong with an intense fragrance. Even a sniff will sting your eyes! 

Fifty years ago, a nature-loving teacher had a vision and decided to buy a plot of wasteland in the center of the island. He dreamed of creating an orchard, house, vegetable garden, forest, and a few plots of chili pepper on his land. The teacher’s dream came true and turned into an agricultural estate which is now run by his four sons. They grow litchis, grapefruits, and ti piment on the estate, without pesticide and chemical fertilizers. Our Rodrigues Island Ti Piment only comes from this estate.  

Ti piment is handpicked, mainly in July when fully ripe. The chilis are naturally sun-dried or dried in greenhouses at the estate before being very carefully sorted so that their stalks remain intact.  

Ti piment in Rodrigues Island and Mauritius Island is enjoyed fresh or pickled, or as a vinegar-preserved condiment. The family produces the chilis whole, and dried, with the stalk intact.
