Long pepper has a delicate floral aroma with a slight kick, particularly when cooked for a long time. Long pepper tastes like black, green and white pepper, but is more pungent. Due to their complexity, long peppercorns pair well with dishes that have distinctive, nuanced flavours, such as spring favourites like artichokes, asparagus and mushrooms. They are best prepared simply with freshly ground long pepper, added to the dish at the very end to preserve the flavour. Use it with dark meats, vegetables, in compotes, desserts and as an accompaniment to fruit. It’s best to simply crush it so that the pepper’s intensity can add flavour to curries, particularly in vegetarian dishes and slow-cooked meals. Country of origin: Indonesia 45g jar

Melegueta pepper, also known as ‘grains of paradise’, is a rare spice native to the coastal regions of West Africa. Melegueta pepper has a pungent flavour and an aroma reminiscent of cardamom and camphor. Compared to black pepper, melegueta is quite mild. The seed contains a unique combination of aromatic ketones, which give it its distinctive flavour. Grains of paradise are particularly well suited to dishes featuring tuna. It is excellent with meat dishes and stews. It is also suitable for flavouring gin and other alcoholic cocktails. Melegueta seeds can be used whole or crushed, either during cooking or as a finishing touch in place of black pepper. It is a spice that pairs well with other herbs, particularly thyme, rosemary and sage. As the seeds are hard, it is best to use a mortar and pestle to crush the melegueta pepper.

Schinus pepper. This pepper originates from the humid and warm regions of Brazil. Schinus berries grow on shrubs and trees, which can reach heights of up to 12 metres. The berries have a sweet and slightly spicy flavour. Schinus berry pepper is wonderful in sauces, with chicken, beef and also sprinkled over desserts.
