Based in the culinary hub of New Orleans, Louisiana Pepper Exchange connects food brands, professional kitchens and home chefs to the heat and flavor of the most authentic peppers grown in key regions around the globe. At heart, we are pepper specialists building bridges between unique flavors and curious consumers - long term relationships with our suppliers and a network of local, small tract farming families in South and Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean allow us to source specific pepper varieties to our exacting specifications and quality standards. We bring those flavors to tables around the world, either directly through our branded pepper purees or indirectly through supplying pepper mash and purees to our partners in food manufacturing, industrial kitchens and restaurants. For commercial customers, LPE is a vertically integrated company that provides an array of services and branded products to kitchens, food producers, and consumers worldwide. Our commercial services have evolved from offering a proprietary shipping methodology (used to increase efficiencies in transporting fermenting pepper mash) to our current vertically integrated platform, which includes: - Sourcing of unique, high quality peppers for pepper mash and purees - Shipping and logistics - Product R&D - Co-manufacturing in our SQF certified facility - Brand and culinary development For consumers and retail partners, we are category and brand creators, introducing unique flavors and ingredients in easy-to-use formats to culinary explorers and adventurous home chefs around the world.
