- Peppercorns, Black, Lampong
Lampong peppercorns are cultivated in Indonesia and picked immediately after they ripen. Because they are not allowed to mature on the vine, these peppercorns are slightly smaller than our Tellicherry peppercorns, but they do have more sharpness and heat.
"Sprinkle with pepper and serve" is the last step in a recipe for diced pork and apples from the world's oldest surviving cookbook, De Re Coquinaria ("On Cookery"), attributed to the 1st century Roman gastronome Apicius.
Whole peppercorns can be used in pickling, marinades, stocks, pot roasts, pastrami and soups. Tie them in a muslin bag for easy removal. Grind them in your own peppermill for a more pungent flavor that is great on pastas, salads, stews or soups.
“As serious chef hobbyists who 'chef around the globe' we cannot thank you enough not only for your products, your methods of shipments, but more, for your spirit toward your customers as well! WELL DONE!”
