Ark of taste (Slowfood)

With the Ark of Taste, the Slow Food Foundation aimed to protect and promote products of exceptional local significance. The list includes products of global fame, but also many relatively unknown products, some of which are only available in the region. Examples of 'major brands' include Voatsipery.pepper from Madagascar and Kampotpepper from Cambodia. Among the lesser-known peppers belong to the Taiwanese maqaw - which we sell - and a 'small' Sarawakpepper from the village on the Rimbas River in this part of Malaysia - which we unfortunately do not sell, just like the flowerpepper out Qingxi. The latter, the Anthoxylum bungeanum, is very similar in quality to the flower we sell.pepper from Hunnan.

The newest addition to the Slow Food collection is merquén (merkén), the addictive, classic chili powder.
