Sichuan Pepper Extract

Sichuan Pepper belongs to the family of Rutaceae. The pepper is usually dried and used as a spice and in complex seasonings in Asian culinary traditions since ancient times. Sichuan Pepper Extract is obtained by solvent extraction of the dried seeds of the Zanthoxylum spp. The volatile compounds in Sichuan pepper are accountable for its woody, citrus, and spicy aroma.

The resultant product has the characteristic citrusy aroma of Sichuan pepper, with an underlying tingling quality. The flavour is bright and aromatic initially, followed by a unique, characteristic numbing sensation. It is a free-flowing liquid that is typically brownish yellow in colour.

Further customisations are possible.
