Gipfelhirsch Szechuan pepper

Szechuan pepper is a rarity from the unspoilt mountain regions of the Himalayas to central China. This exceptional pepper is harvested by hand at altitudes of up to 2,000 metres and captivates with its unique aroma, which combines a tingling spiciness with the fresh, citrusy notes of grapefruit and lemon. This fine spice variety, which botanically belongs to the citrus family rather than the pepper family, brings a special dimension of flavour to your cooking. Szechuan pepper is not only a highlight in Asian cuisine, but also adds an exotic flavour to desserts, chutneys and even cocktails. Whether in curries, on grilled fish or in a chocolate dessert - the fruity, spicy flavour of this pepper provides a special taste experience.
