Chocolate Tasmannia Pfefferbeeren Creme 250g

Distribution and habitat of the Tasmannia genus
In Australia, from Tasmania and eastern Victoria and New South Wales to south eastern Queensland, and in the mountains of north eastern Queensland, where it grows in moist mountain forests and in wet areas in the drier forest and along watercourses to an elevation of 1500 metres (5000 ft).

Culinary use
'Tasmanian pepper' or 'mountain pepper' (Tasmannia. lanceolata, often referred to as Drimys lanceolata or T. aromatica) was the original pepperbush used by colonial Australians. Introduced into cultivation in Cornwall, U.K., to become the 'Cornish pepperleaf' associated with Cornish cuisine. It has large peppery berries which are also high in antioxidants. Safrole is the biggest limitation with using wild strains of mountain pepper, and safrole-free strains of mountain pepper have been selected for the spice trade.

Tasmannia stipitata, Dorrigo Pepper, is also sold as a spice and was the original pepperbush used in specialty native food restaurants in the 1980s. Dorrigo pepper is safrole free and has a strong peppery flavour.
