Mack Khen Pepper

Zanthoxylum Rhetsa Origin: Laos Net volumes and weights: 50ml / 18g /0.63 oz Description: This berry originating from Laos, is not a pepper, it is a close relative of the Chinese Sechuan and the Japanese Sansho. On the nose, lively and fresh notes of citrus fruits. The dominant expression balances between mandarin juice for its refreshing side and Corsican clementine peel for its slight bitterness. In the mouth, the sensation of numbing the palate, typical of Zanthoxylum, is relatively mild. The powerful aroma of clementine invades the palate with herbal notes of smoky tea and great freshness. The length in the mouth is particularly impressive and gives the impression of drinking mandarin juice for long minutes. At the end of the mouth, a very present acidity closes the dance of flavors. Directions for use: Avoid cooking it, use it at the last moment, on your dish, finely ground. You will naturally use it with seafood, shellfish, white-fleshed fish and with meats, lamb, guinea fowl, pigeon, quality pork or a fine veal chop. You will also use it with your soups, broths, nages, with steamed vegetables, button mushrooms, endives and caramelized fennel. It will subtly enhance fresh goat's cheese with a drizzle of olive oil.
