Experience Assam Wild Pepper – one of the rarest and most refined spices in the world. This exceptional true pepper grows exclusively wild in the Assam province of northern India and is harvested by hand in the legendary Brahmaputra Valley between Bhutan and Bangladesh. Its rarity and unique flavor profile make it an absolute must-have for gourmets.
Assam wild pepper is a cousin of long pepper and comes in the form of small, round berries reminiscent of blackberries. But its true secret lies in its aroma: the initial nose reveals earthy, damp notes of undergrowth with distinct mushroom aromas – it's no wonder it's called the "truffle of pepper." The aroma develops a slightly smoky character with surprising citrus nuances and a hint of fresh lime.
A fascinating taste experience unfolds on the palate. The first impression is refreshing, followed by warm, flavorful, and slightly sweet smoky aromas. The finish surprises with herbal mint notes – and best of all: almost no heat. This pepper impresses with its complexity rather than its fiery intensity, making it suitable even for sensitive palates.
The uses are varied and creative. Assam wild pepper enhances mushroom dishes, truffle risotto, grilled vegetables, fish, and light meats. It harmonizes perfectly with citrus fruits, fresh salads, and even chocolate desserts. With 40 grams, you receive a generous amount of this precious spice that will elevate your cooking to a new level.
