Tasting notes
Pink Pepper
While it looks just like a pink version of black or green peppercorns, pink pepper is actually a different species altogether, with its own unique taste profile. It has all of pepper’s piquancy, but never gets as hot. Its unique perfume is in some ways like coriander seed: woody, floral, and citrusy. Ultra-fragrant, it has even become a fetish ingredient for several contemporary perfumiers, including Jean-Claude Ellena and Geza Shoen. Try it with peppery greens in a salad, as a top-note in yogurt-based dressings and dips, or as a surprising garnish in summer cocktails.
