The Mondulkiri red pepper originates from the mountainous region of eastern Cambodia, where a cool climate and exceptional biodiversity create ideal conditions for top-quality pepper cultivation. Between March and April, experienced hands harvest the fully ripe red peppercorns at their optimal maturity.
Careful processing makes all the difference: After harvesting, the ripe grains are sorted by hand, washed, blanched, and then dried in the sun for several days. The result is the characteristic orange-brown-red color and the incomparable aroma profile.
This premium pepper delights with gentle, gourmand notes reminiscent of sun-dried tomatoes and candied citrus peel. Its flavor nuances unfold particularly elegantly with oily fish, light meats, carpaccio, or tartare. Even risotto benefits from its distinctive character.
At Eterna in Stäfa on Lake Zurich, you'll find this exotic pepper for your creative cooking. It harmonizes wonderfully with potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, zucchini, and cream cheese. Try experimenting with sweet and savory combinations or use it to enhance fruit salads, sorbets, and vanilla ice cream. It adds an unforgettable touch to Tarte Tatin.
