Regular price $17.00The island of Phu Quoc is called the "Emerald Island" as it harbours many natural treasures. It is located in the Gulf of Thailand, off the coast of Cambodia. The island has been part of Vietnam since 1945.
Pepper cultivation was introduced in the 18th century by the Chinese. Nowadays, pepper production on the island is very select and only small quantities are produced. In Phu Quoc, only 1.5 tons/hectares are produced, compared to other regions of Vietnam that produce 8-10 tons/hectares.
On the island, all production is done entirely by hand: harvesting, retting, washing, drying and sorting. Most of the pepper plantations are in Cua Duang, the center of the island. The pepper is harvested from February to April. The inhabitants of Phu Quoc island call the pepper "Tiêu" and eat it with seafood and fish, where they grind the pepper with salt and add lime. They also use it for seasoning for all their local dishes.
Phu Quoc black pepper is picked by hand before they are fully ripened and then left to dry in the sun.
With scents of leather and wild yet sugary notes, it is best to grind it using a mortar and pestle to release its flavours. This pepper will delight your pan-fried foie gras, red meats, roast poultry and vegetable gratins.

The French Cajuns are the descendants of the Acadian people, the French from Nova Scotia who were deported to Louisiana by the English during the tragic "Great Upheaval " in 1750.

This mix of spices and aromatic herbs is the ingenious creation of the French who learned how to survive in these hostile lands. It is made from thyme, pink onions, paprika, hot chilli pepper, cumin, black pepper and makes a delicious stock for shellfish, releasing strong, spicy, and very aromatic notes.
Cajun cuisine is a melting pot of French, Creole, African and Spanish cuisine and is one of America’s most varied and richest cuisines, with famous traditional dishes like Jambalaya gumbo made with meat, shrimps or sausages, all just as tasty as each other when prepared with Cajun Mix.

Terre Exotique Mild Mauritius Massale - 60g
Regular price $13.00The French expeditioner, botanist and colonial administrator Pierre Poivre, was the first to introduce spice plants (nutmeg, cloves and pepper) to Mauritius in the 18th century.

Mild Mauritius massalé is a wondrous mix of roasted spices with intense sweet flavours and mild notes of smoked pepper. Its magnificent complex aromas are released as soon as it is slightly heated.

Terre Exotique Mrouzia Tagine Mix - 60g
Regular price $10.00Terre Exotique Natural Fleur de Sel - 90g
Regular price $14.00Called “Africa in the Eyes of Asia”, Madagascar is an island of giant trees, strange animals and indigo blue lagoons. The Ifaty salt works are located in a small corner of paradise on the southwest of the island, far from any pollution. Semi-nomadic fishermen - the Vezo, live there in symbiosis with the lagoon.
Unfortunately, these “sea gypsies” have seen their resources diminish, and have thus turned towards developing salt, the other treasure of the sea.
The nectar of salt marshes, fleur de sel is white and pure. It is the fruit of delicate artisanal work and ideal climatic conditions that occur together in Madagascar—plenty of sun, sea, and wind. It forms on the surface of clay ponds when the water evaporates under the combined action of the sun and wind.
The quality of fleur de sel depends on the manner in which it is harvested and the care that is taken with drying and storage. In Ifaty it is harvested or, more precisely, gathered, by hand - resulting in a delicate and elegant salt.
Terre Exotique Nutmeg and Mace - 40g
Regular price $13.00In the 15th century, nutmeg could only be found in the Moluccas archipelago on the volcanic islands of Banda in Indonesia. For many years it was highly sought after by the European colonial powers. The Portuguese were the first to colonize the archipelago in the 16th century followed by the English with the East India Company and then the Dutch East India Company (VOC).
In 1665, the Dutch managed to chase the British off Run island (Moluccas archipelago) and set fire to all the nutmeg trees to keep the monopoly of trading nutmeg. The English fleet furiously fought for Run island against the Dutch. In 1667, the treaty of Breda put an end to the bloody battles between the two major colonial powers: the Dutch gave the English Manhattan (Nieuw Amsterdam) in return for Run island.
Later on, the nutmeg tree was introduced to Grenada, India, the West Indies, Madagascar and Sri Lanka.
Nutmeg is surrounded by a thin coating called mace, which is sweeter and more delicate than nutmeg, yet slightly peppery. Grind with a pestle and mortar to add a hint of creativity to your cream desserts, fruit compotes, roast pike-perch or grilled chicken with ginger.
Grate nutmeg to flavour white sauces, gratin dauphinoise, mashed or fried potatoes.
Terre Exotique Paprika - 60g

Terre Exotique Red Szechuan Berry - 30g
Regular price $13.50The Szechuan Berry gets its name from the Asian region where it grows: Szechuan, in China. The small berries grow on shrubs with crimson foliage.

Long appreciated in ancient China for its mixture of freshness and heat, its power and also its aphrodisiac properties, the Szechuan berry is even said to have embalmed the walls of the "pepper rooms" of the luxury Chang’an palace with its mesmerizing perfume.
It arrived in Europe in the 13th century when Marco Polo imported it to Venice where it charmed the chefs and enhanced every dish until it fell into culinary oblivion. It returned to fame in the 19th century and since then, has experienced a renaissance around the world, along with the spread of Szechuan cuisine.

Regular price $16.50Terre Exotique Sansho Berry - 20g
Regular price $24.50Sansho berries come from Japan and are essential to traditional and authentic Japanese cuisine. They have been used since antiquity when they were used to flavour food offered to the gods.
The Japanese believe that Sansho berries were already used in Japanese cooking as far back as the ancient Jomon era (from 15,000 BC up until 300 BC). At that time, Japan was inhabited by hunter-gatherers. Nowadays the Japanese call them "SANAHO" or "HAJIKAMI". Sansho berries are a true gift of nature and are reason enough to warrant a trip to the Land of the Rising Sun.
Sansho berries are harvested south of Kobe in Wakayama prefecture on Honshu Island. The best time to harvest them is in July and August.
Japanese have traditionally ground the dried berries and used it to enhance the flavours of noodles with soup, grilled eel (unagi) or in the traditional 7-spice mix called: "SHICHIMI".
Their delicate citrus scents and notes of mandarin leaves go perfectly with sweet and sour dishes, lobster, poached poultry, exotic fruit salad or sprinkled over sticky chocolate cake. In Japan, one of the local delicacies is Kobe beef with Sansho berries.
Terre Exotique Star Anise - 30g
Regular price $12.00Chinese star anise or badian comes from the eight-pointed star-shaped pericarp of the fruit of the Illicium verum tree, that is grown in four Chinese provinces: Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan.
Its Chinese name "Bajiao" literally means "Eight horns". In China, this spice is traditionally used whole in infusions or ground and used in the traditional Chinese 5-spice mix.
Star anise or Chinese fennel was introduced to Europe by Marco Polo in the 14th century. It was difficult to obtain in the Middle Ages. It was very sought after and very expensive. It was not until the Renaissance when it was imported by the English that it became widely used throughout Europe.
Star anise is harvested twice a year in China between April and October. All production stages are done entirely by hand and star anise is then dried in the sun.
Star anise has a stronger aniseed flavour than green anise. It can be used whole, ground or cracked to flavour infusions, teas, sauces, stocks and marinades. Grate it over your desserts, grilled beef, pan-fried vegetables and fish to add a hint of creativity to your dishes!
