Product Details

From Indonesia, this long pepper has an elongated shape and is also known as a catkin. Its hot and spicy flavour encompasses delicious notes of cinnamon, liquorice and aniseed. Grate it or crack it over lamb dishes, tomato sauce and your desserts

This Long pepper, from North East India, still grows in the wild on the foothills of the Himalayas.

It is one of the first spices to arrive in Europe. Indeed the name "pepper" is derived from the sanskrit word "pippali".

This elongated peppercorn with catkins measuring up to 3cm grows on a bushy shrub. It is harvested at maturity and dried in the sun.

Its surprising aromas of liquorice, aniseed and cinnamon balance out its hot and spicy flavour. Perfect with subtle meats such as lamb, tomato sauce or cream desserts.

Grind with a pestle and mortar before putting it in your pepper mill.
