Terre Exotique Cubeb Pepper, 50g

Terre Exotique’s Cubeb pepper adds a cold-spiciness to richer, meat dishes. Originating in South West India, these small peppercorns (also known as tailed pepper, thanks to the small stalks attached to each berry) are harvested in Indonesia and are known for their bitter, aromatic notes of clove and eucalyptus. 

This wild pepper is harvested from trees that are 20-30m high, in a top secret location. In fact, visitors are blind folded for the final approach to the plantation!

Cubeb pepper makes a fantastic seasoning for lamb tagines and rendang curries, or pair with mint and chocolate for zingy tortes and mousses. Alternatively, use the pepper to make your own Middle Eastern ras el hanout spice blend at home alongside cumin, coriander, cinnamon and ginger.

About Terre Exotique

Terre Exotique works directly with hundreds of specialist farmers and producers around the world – to bring the very best peppers, spices and salts to our tables. The company was founded by Erwann de Kerros, a Breton and seasoned traveller. After tasting pepper in the Penja plantation in Cameroon, Kerros yearned to try other specialist peppers and spices – and Terre Exotique was born.

The company works closely with farmers to preserve natural habitats, and to ensure a sustainable income for local communities. Each spice is carefully packed in tins or glass jars – with no plastic. The metal tins preserve the flavours and aroma of your spice, by protecting them from sunlight. So the ingredients stay at their best for longer.
