Botanique :

Pink peppercorn is the berry of a false pepper plant, belonging to the Anacardiaceae family and the Schinus genus.

Chemotypes :

There are different varieties of pink pepper, and therefore Pink Peppercorn EO:
Schinus terebinthifolia, native to South America.
Schinus molle, native to California.
The two species are easily recognizable by their size difference, the Schinus molle being much larger, as well as by their rate of Delta-Cadinene for Schinus molle contains only a trace of this compound.

Extraction process :

Introduced to the USA from South America, this specie of pepper was originally growing in the wild. Its invasiveness made it spread over large areas of the country and lead to its culture. Very quickly, its quality matched the one obtained in South America. Male trees are grown separately from female trees.
In May and June, before extraction, the fresh berries are collected by hand and dried. Afterwards, they become darker in colour and they crumple.
Hydrodistillation is used to obtain the essential oil with a 5% yield and a 90% terpenes in its composition. A supercritical CO2 extraction is also doable to obtain a better olfactory quality extract, even though the cost is higher.
