Long Pepper (organic) - Ground - 2oz

Long pepper is the ancestor of black pepper — used across the ancient spice trade before Piper nigrum took over and all but disappeared from Western kitchens. It is having a quiet revival among chefs and cooks drawn to its unusual form and its more complex, layered heat. Longer and more textured than a standard peppercorn, it delivers warmth with a depth that black pepper does not quite reach, along with intriguing notes of ginger, cinnamon, and clove.

Flavor Profile Warm and spicy with a slow-building heat and complex undertones of ginger, cinnamon, and floral spice. More nuanced and less sharp than black pepper, with a longer finish.

Recommended Uses – sprinkle over pasta, risotto, or egg dishes as a finishing spice – Add to spice blends where black pepper would be used, for added complexity – Incorporate into spiced syrups, mulled wine, or warm drinks – Use in dry rubs for lamb, duck, or aged cheese pairings – add a dash into spiced chocolate, desserts, or spiced honey

Cooking Tips Use slightly less than you would black pepper; it is more complex and the heat builds slowly.
