The peppersPiper borbonense is also known as Cubeba borbonensis because it is related to the cubeb pepper. The spiciness of this pepper, just like black pepper and long pepper, is determined by pepper oil (piperine). Due to the botanical name and the link to Madagascar, it seems obvious to call the pepper bourbon pepper, but that name is already used for the fruitlets of Schinus molle, a relative of the pistachio. This is also known as Peruvian pink pepper.

The plant occurs naturally in the tropical forests of Madagascar, Réunion, Mauritius, and the Seychelles, islands off the east coast of Africa, and hardly at all on the continent itself. Harvesting the small fruits is no easy task; in the wild or semi-wild, the vines grow as lianas up trees to a height of 10 meters or more. The fruits are found at the ends of the vines on the young shoots, high up in the vines. The small fruits are 5 mm in size and round, becoming slightly smaller (3 mm) after drying. The white peppercorns are even slightly smaller.

About one and a half to two tons of voatsiperifery are harvested in Madagascar annually, for a peppersVery few. Because the fruit is only picked in the wild, there is no organic labeling for the Voatsiperifery. Voatsiperifery is included in the 'Ark of Taste'.
