Black Peppercorns, Piper nigrum, are also called peppercorn black, whole black peppercorns, or best black peppercorns.
Our Black Peppercorns contain between 1-2.5% essential oil.
Black Peppercorns are a berry, the fruit of a climbing vine that emerged on the west coast of India and now thrives in tropical climates around the world. A peppercorn is technically a “drupe”, a thin-skinned and fleshy fruit that surrounds a single pit. Other examples of drupes are fruits like cherries and nectarines. Black, green, and white peppercorns are all products of the same vine, harvested and processed at different times to create these varied spices.
Black Peppercorns have a resinous pine heat and deep, earthy flavor with a grassy edge. There is a citrusy aroma with a top floral note.

We will source our product so as to provide you with freshest product possible.
