One of the world's oldest and most intriguing spices. Long pepper (Piper retrofractum), originally from Java, predates black pepper as the dominant spice of the ancient world — prized by the Romans and used in medieval European cooking for centuries before falling out of fashion. Its complex, warming character is unlike any other pepper: notes of cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves with a slow-building, full-bodied heat. How to Use Fragrant Long Pepper Grated over cold vanilla ice cream for a stunning dessert Mulled wine, spiced cider, and winter cocktails Curries, tagines, and spiced stews Poaching liquor for pears, figs, and stone fruit Spiced chocolate and baking Marinades for lamb and game Note: No grinding needed — grate directly with a fine microplane or crush in a mortar and pestle. ⚠️ Caution: If pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a physician before consuming long pepper (Piper retrofractum). ✅ Suitable for vegetarians and vegans Ingredients: Long Pepper (Java).Available in: 75g pouch or x2 75g pouchesStorage: Once opened, store in a cool, dry, dark place Dispatched from Dorset, UK
