Apostle Orange & Horopito Shichimi 50g
Transform everyday meals into extraordinary culinary moments with this remarkable fusion of Japanese tradition and New Zealand terroir. Apostle's Orange & Horopito Shichimi isn't just another spice blend - it's your passport to deeper, more complex flavours that'll have everyone quizzing you for your recipe.
Imagine the warmth of roasted sesame and toasted locally grown hemp creating a rich, nutty foundation that anchors every dish. Then comes the wild card: native horopito, New Zealand's ancient pepperbush, delivering their distinctive peppery notes. It's the kind of ingredient that connects you to our land while exploring flavours from across the Pacific.
Why you'll reach for this jar again and again:
- Adds instant depth and complexity without overwhelming delicate ingredients
- The unique trio of orange, lime and ginger lifts and brightens rich dishes
- Pink Szechuan pepper provides that intriguing tingle that keeps you interested
- Versatile enough for your morning eggs or your Saturday night dinner party
- Small-batch crafted right here in New Zealand
Where it shines: Sprinkle generously over ramen or miso soup, use as a finishing salt on grilled fish or lamb, dust over roasted vegetables straight from the oven or rim your Bloody Mary glass for weekend brunch. The pleasantly bitter, nuanced character means it plays beautifully with both delicate and robust flavours.
This is the kind of spice blend that earns permanent real estate right by your hob. The team at Apostle understand that great cooking isn't about following rules; it's about having the right tools and then trusting your instincts. At 50g, it's the perfect size to use liberally without worrying about it going stale before you've explored its full potential.
Crafted in New Zealand by Apostle, who've built their reputation on reimagining traditional spice blends with native ingredients and uncompromising quality.
