Long Java pepper – a spice with depth and history
Long Java pepper (Piper retrofractum) is grown on the island of Java in Indonesia and is known for its elongated shape, where the peppercorns can grow up to 3 cm. It is one of the earliest exotic spices to reach Europe, and it played a central role in the historical spice trade.
The flavor profile is complex and different from classic black pepper. The aroma contains notes of licorice, anise, and cinnamon, while the taste is warm and spicy with deeper nuances of cocoa and tonka beans. After harvest, the pepper is sun-dried, which concentrates the aromas and delivers an intensity of 6 out of 7.
Characteristics:
- Origin: The island of Java, Indonesia
- Shape: Elongated, up to 3 cm
- Aroma: Licorice, cinnamon, and anise
- Taste: Warm, spicy with cocoa and tonka beans
- Intensity: 6 out of 7

Long Java pepper makes it possible to work with a raw ingredient that has both historical significance and contemporary culinary potential. With its distinctive combination of spicy and sweet notes, it is ideal in dishes where the pepper is allowed to be a pronounced flavor contributor.
