What is Pepper Taormina?
Pepper Taormina is a carefully composed spice blend combining black pepper with natural orange notes. This blend was created in tribute to the Italian coastal town of Taormina – a place rich in culinary heritage. Sicily has long played an important role in the spice trade and is known for its diversity of flavors and local recipes.
The blend contains finely ground spices that enhance the citrus aroma and highlight the natural fruitiness of the orange. The result is a well-balanced seasoning that adds character to both everyday and refined dishes.
How to Use Pepper Taormina in Cooking
This pepper blend is particularly well-suited for fish, seafood salads, and pasta dishes. It also adds a distinctive touch to recipes such as rice croquettes (arancini), pasta with squid ink, or anchovy and caper sauces.
It can also be used to season roasted swordfish, fennel sausage with orange, or chicken with pine nuts. Another suggestion is to incorporate it into breadcrumb fillings, such as for stuffed sardines ("Sarde a Beccafico").
Whether you're preparing meat, vegetables, or plant-based meals – Pepper Taormina invites you to explore creative culinary ideas with Mediterranean inspiration.
