Combined with chilies or ginger, it enhances umami flavors with a unique balance of heat and freshness.

INGREDIENTS: Whole Szechuan pepper (Zanthoxylum piperitum).

ORIGIN: China.

TASTING NOTES: It is not a pepper in the traditional botanical sense, but rather the husk of a citrus shrub. It stands out for its lemon and woody aroma, but above all for its "numbtingle" effect: a tingling or slight numbing sensation on the tongue and lips that is unique and refreshing.

USE: It is a fundamental ingredient in Sichuan cuisine (China). It is used in iconic dishes such as Mapo Tofu and Kung Pao. It is ideal for flavoring oils, stir-fries, duck and pork dishes, or for adding an exotic touch to fish. To maximize its flavor, it is recommended to lightly toast the berries and grind them before use.

STORAGE: Store in a dry, dark, and cool place.

ALLERGENS: May contain traces of Celery, Sesame, Gluten, and Mustard due to presence in facilities.
