Origin and special features
“ A LEMON-FRIENDLY TOUCH FROM THE HIMALAYAS ”.
Timut pepper originates from the mountainous regions of Nepal and belongs to the Zanthoxylum family. Often confused with Szechuan pepper, it nevertheless possesses its own distinct profile. While both are known for their tingling, numbing sensation, Timut pepper is characterized by its pronounced citrus notes. In Nepal and Tibet, it is an integral part of traditional dishes and is also known as "green Szechuan pepper."

Citrusy, floral, fruity and slightly spicy, with a mild, tingling effect.
Application
Ideal for refining Asian and Tibetan dishes, but also suitable for sauces, marinades, meat and vegetable dishes. Particularly harmonious with fish or poultry, where its fruity notes and mild spiciness come to the fore. When heated, it unfolds its full aroma and provides a unique taste experience.
Interesting facts
