These peppercorns hail from China and have been celebrated for their exquisite flavour since time immemorial. Sichuan red peppercorns are highly aromatic, with floral citrus notes (orange peel and bergamot) that are a match made in heaven for savoury dishes, including duck, fish, pork and chicken.
Sichuan pepper is also the perfect companion for sweet treats and desserts featuring chocolate or fruit (citrus, apricots and melon). We'd strongly recommend grinding the pepper at the last minute using a Peugeot pepper mill on a fine setting, to avoid cooking the pepper, which tends to develop a bitter taste. Sichuan red peppercorns can also infuse your favourite oils or even honey to create a sensational marinade for meat and roasted vegetables.
