Description
Botanical Name: Piper nigrum
Revered as the king of spices, black pepper has travelled along ancient trade routes, enlivened global cuisines, and remains one of the most essential seasonings in every kitchen. Its bold heat, citrusy lift and complex aroma make it a spice that is at once familiar and endlessly expressive.
Our certified organic whole black peppercorns are stone-milled in small batches at our gluten-free Sydney facility. Stone milling gently releases volatile oils, producing a naturally rustic, fine texture and a fuller, brighter aroma than standard grinding. Each jar opens to an intense burst of peppery heat with subtle notes of citrus peel, resin, warm spice and fruit.
Black pepper complements everything from eggs, chicken, seafood and stir-fries to creamy soups, roasted vegetables, pasta, salads, strawberries and tomatoes. It also forms the backbone of many global spice blends and is traditionally paired with warm spices such as cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and cardamom.
