The essential spice with intense, deep aromas
The king of spices, black pepper is the fruit of a tropical liana, picked before ripe and dried in the sun. The yellow husk then shrivels and turns brown, giving rise to black pepper. The Malabar region of southern India is the historical cradle of pepper.
Our Malabar Demeter black pepper comes from this historic cradle, in the state of Kerala, and is ethically traded with small-scale producers. Strong and spicy, this organic whole black pepper will spice up any dish with just a few turns of the mill. Stronger than white pepper, black pepper is the perfect seasoning for steaks and grilled meats.
