Piper refractum
Long Pepper was once hailed by Romans as the ultimate peppery spice. Sadly these wild long peppers soon disappeared into culinary obscurity with the domestication of their cousin, the modern black peppercorn. To this day, Long Peppers refuse to play party to conventional ideals of planting and harvest…preferring to sprout where they will and trail lazily into the towering canopies of jungle trees. Their flavor is deep and complex; simultaneously releasing an earthy pungency, a sweet hint of cardamom and nutmeg and the spicy heat of chili. Once ground, roasted or simply snapped in two, they release an incredible floral bouquet. The spice that was found and lost has been found once again…
