Smoky Long Peppercorns Details
Smoky Long Peppercorns, relative to Black Pepper (Piper nigrum), have been used for centuries in Mediterranean, African, Indian, and Indonesian cuisines. These peppercorns get their distinctive smoky aroma from the process of smoking, which gives them a deep, campfire-like fragrance.
Its flavor is more intense than regular black pepper, offering a balanced heat with earthy undertones and a hint of sweetness that elevates everything from meats to vegetables. Historically, it was a treasured spice for its taste and its medicinal properties. Perfect for enhancing beef, pork, and tomato dishes, Smoky Long Peppercorns are a must-try for adventurous home cooks.

Their rich, smoky flavor makes them perfect for adding depth to meats like beef, pork, and chicken, as well as slow-cooked dishes like stews and braises. The peppercorns also enhance fresh ingredients such as salad greens, roasted vegetables, and spring vegetables, bringing a woodsy warmth and complexity to lighter dishes.
In addition to savory uses, Smoky Long Peppercorns are an unexpected yet delightful addition to desserts. Their smoky heat pairs wonderfully with rich chocolate, dark caramels, or tropical fruits, offering a bold contrast that brings a whole new level of flavor to sweets.
