Timut Pfeffer
The Nepalese Timut pepper is a true discovery for lovers of unusual spices. This rare pepper grows wild in the mountainous regions of Nepal and is characterized by a unique flavor profile.
With its intense aroma of grapefruit and yuzu, underlined by notes of wood and flowers, Timut pepper stands out clearly from conventional types of pepper. This complex, citrus-fresh spice makes it a true all-rounder in the kitchen.
Timut pepper is particularly popular in Nepalese cuisine and is traditionally used for curries, pickles and other spicy dishes. But its range of uses goes far beyond that. With its rounded spiciness and surprising citrus finish, it goes perfectly with fish and seafood, but also adds a special touch to meat dishes, salads and even desserts.
The special thing about Timut pepper is that it can unfold its variety of aromas in both savoury and sweet creations. Whether in combination with chocolate, fruit or jams - its fresh, complex nuances always bring your dishes into a new dimension of taste.
Thanks to its versatility, Timut pepper opens up endless possibilities to enrich your kitchen with exotic, surprising accents. Whether ground in a mill or coarsely crushed in a mortar - it gives your dishes an incomparable aroma that will delight you and your guests.
Siltimur
Siltimur is a fascinatingly aromatic pepper that grows wild in the mountainous regions of Nepal. Contrary to what the name suggests, this is not a classic pepper, but a berry from the Lindera neesiana plant. What makes Siltimur so special is its unique flavor profile.
It is characterized by a refreshing, pleasant citrus aroma, reminiscent of lemon and grapefruit. It develops a pleasant freshness without being sharp or biting. Instead, it leaves a characteristic tingling sensation on the tongue.
In addition to its use as an unusual spice that is ideal for fish, seafood, poultry and vegetables, Siltimur is also said to have medicinal properties. It is therefore firmly established in Nepalese cuisine and is used in dishes such as curries and pickles. Overall, Timut pepper and Siltimur embody the fascination for unusual, locally rooted spices from distant regions.
With their distinctive aroma and versatility in the kitchen, they offer an exciting addition to the common types of pepper.
