Smoked Black Pepper 125 g

Whole smoked black pepper

Black pepper contains the highest levels of piperine, the substance that gives pepper its well-known heat. To produce black pepper, the fruits must be harvested whilst still unripe and then dried. Pepper fruits can usually be found in four different colours, depending on the time of harvesting and subsequent processing. The colour of the pepper also indicates the intensity of its heat. Black pepper is stronger than green pepper, milder than white pepper, but much more aromatic and flavourful than the latter.

Generally speaking, pepper is a versatile spice used in a variety of dishes, such as meat, fish and vegetable dishes, poultry dishes, various salads and so on.

This black pepper is quite special, as it has a smoky aroma.

Peppercorns are best ground just before use, otherwise the pepper quickly loses its flavour. However, when stored correctly, whole peppercorns can retain their flavour and aroma for years.
