Variety of pepper varieties

From classic black pepper to exotic varieties such as Szechuan and cubeb pepper - each variety brings its own unique flavor and enriches your dishes in a special way.

Black pepper

Black pepper is made from the unripe, green berries of the pepper plant. After harvesting, the berries are fermented and dried, giving them their characteristic black color and intense aroma. Black pepper is versatile and ideal for meat dishes, soups and sauces. Its aroma unfolds particularly well when it is freshly ground. Its spicy, slightly woody taste makes it the perfect all-rounder in the kitchen.

White pepper

White pepper is produced by removing the outer skin of the ripe berries. It has a milder taste than black pepper and is often used in light-colored sauces and fish dishes. The production process requires a water bath lasting several days to dissolve the skin, which gives the pepper its light color.

Exotic pepper varieties

Szechuan pepper

Szechuan pepper comes from China and is known for its unique combination of lemony notes and tingling spiciness. It is not a real pepper, but the dried peel of the Szechuan pepper plant. The tingling, numbing effect on the tongue makes it indispensable for many Asian dishes, especially Sichuan cuisine. Use it for wok dishes, marinades and spicy soups.

Cubeb pepper

Cubeb pepper, also known as Java pepper, has a spicy, slightly bitter aroma with eucalyptus notes. It is particularly suitable for meat dishes and stews, giving them a special depth and complexity.

Long pepper

Long pepper, also known as Piper longum, has a sweetish spiciness and is mainly used in Indian dishes. It is well suited to curries and chutneys and adds an interesting flavor dimension.

Tips for use

Whole grains vs. ground pepper

Whole peppercorns retain their aroma for longer and should be freshly ground to develop their full flavor. Ground pepper is practical, but loses its intensity more quickly.

Storing pepper correctly

Store pepper in a cool, dry place and protect it from light and moisture. Use airtight containers to preserve the freshness. This will preserve the flavor of your pepper for a long time.

Combinations and pairings

Pepper can be perfectly combined with various herbs and spices. Popular combinations include pepper and garlic, pepper and lemon zest or pepper and rosemary. The combination of pepper and turmeric is ideal for curry dishes, while pepper and thyme go particularly well with meat dishes. Experiment with these pairings to discover new, exciting flavors and refine your dishes.
