Grown wild in the volcanic soils of North Sumatra, Andaliman is a close relative of Sichuan pepper and has been used for generations in traditional Batak cuisine. Its distinctive lemony aroma and gentle numbing effect awaken the palate and balance rich, spicy dishes. Harvested by hand and sun-dried, this spice remains a rare and prized ingredient outside Indonesia, offering a true taste of the region’s culinary heritage.
Citrus-Spiced Seafood: Perfect for white fish ceviche or lightly seared scallops, where its floral-citrus notes complement delicate protein.
Exotic Chocolate & Dessert Pairings: Sprinkle into ganaches, custards, or poached fruits for a subtly zingy, aromatic finish.
Signature Spice Blends: Combine with sumac, star anise, and smoked salt for a unique, globally inspired finishing blend.
Tea & Infusions: Lightly crush into hot water or chai blends for a warming, fragrant cup with an unexpected floral twist.
Vegetable Elevation: Toss roasted root vegetables, pumpkin, or grilled cauliflower with crushed Andaliman pepper for bright, citrusy complexity.
