Product Description
Java Long Pepper – The Forgotten Spice with Intense Flavors
A rare pepper with a slightly sweet, spicy, and licorice flavor.
The Java Long Pepper (Piper longum), cultivated on the Indonesian island of Java, is an ancient spice with deep and complex aromas. Valued since antiquity, this unique pepper comes in the form of small elongated spikes, offering a warm, woody, and slightly sweet flavor, with subtle notes of licorice and cinnamon.

A Pepper Charged with History
Originating from the Indian subcontinent, long pepper was one of the first peppers to reach Europe via the spice routes. Highly prized in the Middle Ages, it was later overshadowed by black pepper and chili in the 16th century. Today, it is making a strong comeback in haute cuisine, where it is appreciated for its complexity and rarity.
