A warmth that leans toward clove, then, at the finish, a fresh, almost eucalyptus-like note. This is the Cubeb Peppercorn from Place des Épices: Piper cubeba, grown organically on the island of Java, bolder than black pepper yet less sharp on the palate. Grind it over lamb, game, or a tagine, or, for a subtler touch, over poached pears or citrus fruit.

Recipe idea

Orange Salad with Cubeb Pepper

Serves 4 · 15 min

  1. Peel 4 oranges with a knife, removing all the white pith, and slice them into rounds.
  2. Arrange the slices on a platter and drizzle with 1 tbsp honey loosened with 1 tbsp orange blossom water.
  3. Grind a little cubeb pepper over the top: its clove-like warmth and fresh finish lift the citrus.
  4. Scatter with chopped pistachios and mint leaves just before serving.
