Origin and description
“ EXOTIC FOR WILDLIFE AND LAMB ”.
Cubeb pepper, also known as long pepper or tail pepper, originates from Indonesia and is considered a rare, aromatic spice. Its peppery flavor with a subtle, allspice-like note makes it particularly appealing for robust, braised dishes. It lends an exotic depth and complexity to game and lamb dishes, elevating traditional recipes to a new level.
Taste and aroma
Peppery, spicy, allspice-like, earthy, slightly sweet, warm, intense.
Application
Perfect for game and lamb dishes, especially when slow-cooked. Cubeb pepper unfolds its full aroma in sauces, marinades, or braised dishes. It harmonizes ideally with herbs such as bay leaf, cardamom, and rosemary. It also adds a distinctive aroma as a special finishing touch to hearty stews.
Interesting facts
Cubeb pepper was already a sought-after trade spice in the Middle Ages, finding its way from Indonesia to Europe via Arab traders. Its allspice-like flavor distinguishes it from classic pepper and makes it a special choice for adventurous cooks. Besides its culinary role, it is traditionally used in tea blends in its native region, as it is valued for its warming and stimulating notes.
