Product descriptionBiova organic Szechuan pepper is a distinctive Asian spice made from whole, red-brown husks sourced from China. It gives dishes a fine tingling sensation on the palate and a fresh, citrus-like note.Gentle drying and careful cleaning help preserve the essential oils and the complex aroma. The spice is intensely aromatic but not hot like black pepper, and creates a pleasantly light numbing effect on the tongue.In hot dishes, wok cooking or modern fusion recipes, organic Szechuan pepper offers a wide range of uses. Add the whole husks during cooking or crush them just before use to season meat, vegetables, tofu and sauces with Biova spices in a nuanced way.OriginThe Szechuan pepper for this Biova product comes from selected mountainous regions of China with a temperate climate.

Once ripe, the husks are harvested by hand, sorted, gently dried and packed as whole husks.CharacteristicsBotanically, Szechuan pepper is not a true pepper but the dried husk of a citrus plant. This creates the interplay of lemony freshness, spice, a light numbing effect and the decorative red-brown appearance.Differences in origin and processingDepending on the growing region in China, the aroma ranges from more citrus-fresh to warm and spicy. Harvest time and drying influence the intensity of the tingling effect, which is why Biova focuses on even drying and careful grading.Taste & aromaOn the nose, it offers a fresh, citrus-like aroma with subtle resinous notes.

Product descriptionPatagonia pepper is a rare wild pepper from southern Chile. At Biova it is offered as whole, black berries with a decorative, coarse chunk grading. The berries come from the Magellanic winter’s bark and combine sweet, fruity notes with warm spice aromas.Gentle drying of the whole berries preserves most of the essential oils, which helps maintain a stable aroma even in bulk packs. Biova relies on carefully selected raw material from controlled wild collection areas to ensure consistent quality and a coarse, chunky grading.In the kitchen, Patagonia pepper shows its characteristic sweet heat best when the berries are freshly crushed in a mortar or roughly chopped. This Patagonian wild pepper is highly versatile in hearty dishes as well as in creative dessert compositions.OriginThe whole pepper berries come from Patagonia in southern Chile, a region with a cool, humid climate and evergreen rainforests. The slow growth of the Magellanic winter’s bark promotes a complex flavour profile with fruity and spicy notes in Biova quality.Cultivation / production / harvestThe evergreen Drimys shrubs can grow up to 20 metres high and bear fragrant white blossoms that develop into bluish berries. Harvest takes place mainly between March and May. The berries are then gently dried and packed as whole, black chunks in bulk units of approx. 1.05 kg.Special featuresPatagonian wild pepper from the Drimys family is botanically very different from classic black pepper. Its combination of sweet, fruity character, cinnamon-like notes and a delayed, slightly numbing heat makes this exotic pepper a distinctive spice for professional kitchens and ambitious home cooks.Differences in origin and processingBecause it grows in the Patagonian rainforest, this wild pepper develops a different flavour profile from tropical pepper varieties. Gentle drying of the whole berries preserves the essential oils better than industrially ground products and allows for fresh grinding directly before use, which is Biova’s preferred approach.Taste & aromaOn the nose, the pepper recalls cinnamon, jasmine and ripe berries with a warm, spicy note. On the palate it first appears mild, sweet and fruity before a powerful, slightly numbing heat sets in – ideal for flavour-driven cooking and creative spice blends.Suggested usesCoarsely crushed for dark meats, game and robust braised dishes.As an aromatic component in dips, chutneys, marinades and sauces.For desserts with exotic fruits, dark chocolate or spiced compotes.Product specificationCountry of origin: ChileGrading: chunks / wholeColour: blackSales unit: approx. 1.05 kg bulk per unitProduct type: food / spice

The whole, green-dried husks of the Zanthoxylum shrub evoke grapefruit, lime and fresh herbs and are supplied by Biova as high-quality bulk product.Compared to classic black pepper, its heat is milder, while the typical tingling on the tongue creates a lively, complex flavour profile.

Product descriptionBiova green pepper delivers a fresh, herbal heat and a naturally bright green colour that makes dishes visually stand out. The coarsely cracked berries from Sri Lanka are gently dried and then granulated to create an intensely aromatic spice for kitchens and food production.Because the berries are dehydrated directly after harvest, they do not ferment and retain their clear, unadulterated flavour.
