Stoneground White Pepper - Fine

Botanical name: Piper nigrum

We handcraft our Stoneground Fine White Pepper using Organic whole White Pepper sourced from India to ensure purity and quality of our product.

The whole White Pepper is freshly stoneground, on receipt of your order, to bring out an intense aroma. Stoneground spices have a naturally uneven, earthy texture that adds a rustic mouth feel. This is immediately packed in a recyclable, amber coloured, glass jar, with an airtight induction seal, to maximise freshness of the product – you will get a strong aroma of fresh ground Pepper when you open the jar.

White Peppercorn is the dried fruit of the pepper plant, Piper nigrum. It is native to India and South-East Asia but is now cultivated in Indonesia, Malaysia, China, Sri Lanka, Madagascar and South America. White Peppercorn is produced by soaking ripe berries in water. The dark outer skin shrivels and is easily removed, leaving the white seed.

Stoneground White Peppercorn is hot, winey, woody, earthy with smoother aromatic flavour. White Pepper is spicier and fruitier than Black Pepper, but less complex. Ground White pepper can be used as a seasoning or as a garnish. It should be added after the dish has been cooked, as overheating can release a bitter flavour.

White Peppercorn is used in some cuisines for its specific earthy flavour and aesthetics in lighter colored dishes. It is common in French, Indian, Chinese, Mexican, Swedish and Vietnamese cuisines. White Pepper combines well with cheeses, creamy sauces, curries, eggs, marinades for chicken, fish and pork, meatballs, stir fries, soups, pickling, potatoes and vinaigrettes.

White Peppercorn pairs well with Chilies, Cumin, Garlic, Saffron and Turmeric.
