Tasmanian Pepper Berry 50g

Tasmanian Native Pepperberry's immediate taste is one of sweet, earthy notes with an intense peppery bite that lingers on the tongue and back palate, leaving an almost mineral-like aftertaste that continues to build in heat. Native mountain pepperberries are typically hotter than conventional black pepper, but more versatile, and complement both sweet and savoury dishes. Do not use ground pepperberries directly onto food — they’re just too bitingly hot. Pepperberries are delicious when put into slow-cooked dishes like stews and soups, as the extended cooking time tends to dissipate their pungency and the unusual flavor gets a chance to really complement the food. They are also excellent with game meats and when used sparingly, in marinades for both white and red meat.. Pepperberries pair well with dairy (yoghurt, most cheese varieties, cream, ice cream and gelato/sorbet), oil and vinegar-based meat marinades and salad dressings, meat-based sauces and egg-based condiments. Complements fish, seafood, chicken, pork, lamb, beef and game meat, and pairs perfectly with all vegetable varieties. Mountain pepperberries lift the profile of alcoholic beverages such as gin, vodka, white rum, Cointreau and tequila. It adds a dark pinkish tint and refreshing, spicy twist to soda, tonic, mineral water and lemonade .
