have a warm pungent slightly nutmeg flavour and a hot, biting taste.

tropical forests. This is what gives Brazilian pepper its aroma and depth
of flavour.To give a spicy flavour and heat, sprinkle into all savoury
dishes at the end of cooking or at the table.To refill, simply twist the
cap off the grinder and refill.
