Red pepper

Uses & Recipe Ideas

• Red pepper is considered one of the finest varieties of pepper in the world, because the berries can only fully ripen on the plant and develop their intense red color under ideal conditions. Only a few reach full maturity, and that is precisely what makes red pepper a true rarity. Its long ripening period gives it an exceptionally deep aroma with fruity sweetness and elegant heat.
• Black pepper (Piper nigrum) should not be confused with pink pepper (Schinus terebinthifolia), which is often mistakenly referred to as “black pepper” as well. Pink pepper grows in clusters on trees and, botanically speaking, is not a true pepper.
• If “Roter Pfeffer” were a wine,…
• …then a fully matured Bordeaux from an outstanding vintage. Red pepper embodies exactly the same characteristics: deep, round, the result of an elaborate aging process, and possessing extraordinary aromatic depth. Its fruity warmth and harmonious heat make it a true delicacy and an integral part of fine gourmet cuisine.
