Terre Exotique Java Long Pepper 500g Ingredients

Terre Exotique’s Java long pepper is big, bold and spicy with strong aromas of cocoa and cinnamon – it’s excellent for meat ragus, sauces and even chocolate desserts. Cultivated in Indonesia, the long, elongated peppers were widely used in European cooking before chilli peppers rose to prominence. 

Infuse these long peppers in tomato sauces for a kick of spice, or add to lamb curries and tagines for a bold flavour. Java long pepper isn’t delicate, however the flavour can be mellowed by dry toasting in a pan before grinding, or adding to slow-cooked stews.

Because of its chocolate scent, Java long pepper is a popular choice for desserts, in particular ‘long pepper cream’, an infusion of pepper, cream and sugar. Java long pepper needs to be ground with a pestle and mortar before putting in a pepper mill.

This 500g bag is ideal for professional kitchens – the Java long pepper comes in opaque packaging, protecting it from light and preserving the fresh flavour, while the flat base makes it easy to store.

About Terre Exotique

Terre Exotique works directly with hundreds of specialist farmers and producers around the world – to bring the very best peppers, spices and salts to our tables. The company was founded by Erwann de Kerros, a Breton and seasoned traveller. After tasting pepper in the Penja plantation in Cameroon, Kerros yearned to try other specialist peppers and spices – and Terre Exotique was born.

The company works closely with farmers to preserve natural habitats, and to ensure a sustainable income for local communities. Each spice is carefully packed in pouches – the opaque packaging preserves the flavours and aroma of your spice, by protecting them from sunlight. So the ingredients stay at their best for longer.
