A genuine Swiss manufactory
Pepper Composition No. 5 is the perfect blend for the pepper grinder. It combines Malabar, green, cubeb, Penja and red Kampot pepper. Fruit, floral notes, citrus and earthy depth harmonise perfectly.
· Category: Pepper blend, whole
· Taste: fruity, floral, citrus-fresh, earthy
· Use: vegetables, pasta, cheese, pepper crusts on meat/fish, dips/vinaigrettes, pepper butter/jus
· Format: 50 g jar / 500 g stand-up pouch
My tip: Toast briefly in a dry pan, coarsely crush in a mortar and use as a pepper crust; finely ground at the table over vegetables, or stir into butter with a little lemon zest and garlic.
Origin & Story
Everyone knows those run-of-the-mill pepper blends: inferior quality, different brands and yet often the same producer. And then those red berries meant to imitate real red pepper – it doesn't get any worse. So it was easy for me to create a blend that is simply really good and became a bestseller.
My Pepper Composition No. 5 was created at Manufaktur Funke because I wanted to unite the best pepper varieties in the world in one blend. Five selected origins, five unique characters – together they form a perfectly balanced blend that is indispensable in your kitchen:
-
Malabar pepper from India: bold, hot, full-bodied
-
Green pepper from Sri Lanka: fresh, grassy, slightly tart
-
Cubeb pepper from Indonesia: lemony, tangy, with a slight bitter note
-
Penja pepper from Cameroon: soft, earthy, subtly spicy
-
Red Kampot pepper from Cambodia: fruity, floral, mild
Together these five varieties form an aromatic blend with depth and complexity – perfect for any pepper grinder.
Highlights
My Pepper Composition No. 5 deliberately avoids dominant heat. Instead, fruitiness, floral notes, earthiness and fresh citrus aromas take centre stage. A balanced blend that unfolds plenty of depth and length on the palate.
Quality
I process all the pepper varieties personally in small batches and mix them by hand in my manufactory – no fillers, no flavourings, no additives. Just pure pepper quality. Bottled in small quantities for maximum freshness and authentic taste.
The best spices have always inspired me to create new dishes. Only the best is good enough to reach the very top – for you, in your kitchen. 100% natural. Just the way I use it myself, every day.
Tip from Tobias Funke
I use this blend not only fresh from the grinder, but also happily as the base for an aromatic spice butter. For this I toast it briefly in a dry pan, crush it coarsely and mix it with butter, a little lemon zest and garlic. This butter has enough aromatic depth to serve as the perfect accompaniment to potatoes, fried mushrooms or freshly grilled chicken.
Recommended use
- Freshly ground at the table over vegetables, pasta or cheese
- As a pepper crust for meat or fish
- In dips, vinaigrettes, butter or dark jus
