Red Sichuan Pepper, Imperial Variety

Description

For our Sichuan pepper, we have chosen the emperor variety, called Gong Jiao, or “Tribute Pepper” from the Qingxi region. It represents the nectar of the different varieties of Sichuan pepper. It was given annually to the emperor as a gift.

This berry brings an incomparable sensation of heat with light lemony notes. It goes equally well with meat, fish, or desserts.

When cooked, Sichuan pepper inevitably adds spice to your dishes. It combines very well with meat, poultry, fish, but also quite simply with rice or vegetables. It will pair wonderfully with foie gras, chocolate, and even sorbets!
