MALABAR BLACK PEPPER
Malabar Black Pepper (Piper nigrum / traditional spice), an aromatic spice with warm, slightly peppery, and subtly robust notes, is ideal for enhancing curries, exotic dishes, sauces, marinades, and refined culinary creations. Prized for its stimulating and digestive properties, it adds depth, intensity, and character to all your dishes. A natural product, it guarantees a unique aroma and carefully selected quality.
Malabar black pepper is the ancestor of all peppers, since he was born on that stretch of India’s coastline that gives him his name. The earliest references to it date back to the early 1st century in the writings of a Roman gastronome named Apicius. He describes me as the «King of Spices». That's quite a challenge for you!
This authentic pepper is characterized by its aroma, which is both woody and fruity, and these notes carry through on the palate with a lot of body and some warmth. It comes in the form of blackish-brown grains, smaller than those from some other origins. It is often used to season vegetables and fish, and its long-lasting flavor is prized in the preparation of cured meats.
Did you know? In 1976, scientists examined the mummy of Ramses II and discovered grains of Malabar pepper in his nasal cavities.
