Things worth knowing about the ingredients
This sort of pepper is collected in a process of certified wild harvesting on the south side of the Nepalese Himalaya, near the Para Wildlife Reserve. Like its Indian competitor, this pepper offers a typical peppery kind of spiciness combined with a slightly numbing spiciness, similar to the Szechuan. Within this growing region, the smoke-free drying procedure is a particularly great challenge due to the lack of power supply and high rainfall density. The pepper is wild harvested by farmers within an area of approx. 4 ha. After that, it is dried by solar power in a drying tunnel, specifically developed and installed for this purpose.
