Discover the World of Peppers: The Yupanqui Family Legacy
Pepper is more than just a spice; it’s an invitation to travel through flavors, cultures, and traditions. Among the finest varieties, Yupanqui Pepper stands out for its rich history and unparalleled taste.
The Legacy of the Yupanqui Family
The name "Yupanqui" translates to "memorable" or "priceless" in the Kichwa language, a perfect reflection of the exceptional quality of this pepper. The story of Yupanqui Pepper dates back almost 90 years, when Japanese immigrants introduced ancient varieties of black pepper to the Amazonian region. Years later, the Yupanqui family’s grandfather meticulously selected the strongest strains, creating a unique blend passed down through generations.
Despite facing numerous challenges, including the threats of guerrilla conflict, the family persevered. By the late 1990s, they found an exceptional terroir in the cloud forest of Ecuador. Today, traditional Incan farming techniques are faithfully applied, resulting in a pepper unlike any other.
A Unique Terroir
Located in the Manabí province of Ecuador, near the equator, the Yupanqui plantation benefits from a rich clay-loam soil that is ideal for growing high-quality pepper. Each Yupanqui peppercorn embodies a complex range of flavors and aromas, attributed to this unique terroir. Additionally, the cool, salty breezes from the nearby Pacific Ocean lend an extra layer of complexity to the pepper’s taste.
International Recognition
The Yupanqui family's relentless pursuit of excellence has earned them numerous awards, including the prestigious Épicures Fine Grocery Award in Paris. Their pepper is sought after by Michelin-starred chefs, high-end restaurants, and culinary enthusiasts around the world.
