Le Comptoir des Poivres
For several years we have been looking for products of an unsuspected quality with the same philosophy: search for products directly on the production site, refusal of any chemical treatment on the plant as well as on the product and a fortiori any irradiation (hypocritically called ionisation), making sure that the people working in these plantations work in optimal conditions, demanding numerous sortings to keep only the exceptional grains or berries, refusing any long storage and routing the products without intermediaries, i.e. with a maximum traceability We are proud to be grocers and wish to give back to this profession its letters of nobility. Le Comptoir des Poivres is a grocer and we are proud of it. A team of passionate epicureans who have been tracking down peppers and spices of impeccable quality for years, in search of new and surprising sensations by travelling to India, Iran, Madagascar, Nepal and Mexico. Le Comptoir des Poivres now offers you an exceptional choice of black, white, red, long or tailed peppers, as well as spices such as coriander, cocoa, cinnamon or the superb Targh Neguine Saffron. Comptoir des Poivres presents its range of dried whole chillies from Mexico, its compositions of mixed salts, wild black Sansho from Bhutan, Curry from Madagascar, an exceptional and exclusive blend of Arcoiris peppers, Rose petals from Ispahan as well as an incredible bunch of organic green peppercorns from the Bolaven Plateau in Laos and many other novelties to be discovered all year round.
