Szechuan pepper is a rarity ranging from the pristine mountain regions of the Himalayas all the way to central china. Harvested by hand at elevations of up to 2,000 metres, this ex traordinary pepper is distinguished by its unique aroma, which combines a tingling spiciness with fresh, citrusy notes of grapefruit and lemon. Although botanically more closely related to citrus fruits than to true pepper plants, this exquisite spice adds a special flavour dimension to your cooking. Szechuan pepper is not only a standout in Asian cuisine but also imparts an exotic zest to desserts, chutneys, and even cocktails. Whether used in curries, on grilled fish, or in a chocolate dessert, the fruity and spicy flavour of this pepper creates a memorable taste experience. The intense aroma is best released when the peppercorns are freshly crushed just before use. Exotic pepper from the heights of the Himalayas – hand-harvested and sun-dried.
