Black pepper
whole
Black pepper is widely used in meats, soups, sauces and marinades. Black pepper gives the most intense flavour and aroma immediately after grinding, so if you want to pepper ready-made food, you should use a mill. Due to its handy and attractive appearance, our mill also looks great on the dining table, but at the same time takes up little space in the kitchen. By adjusting the grinding cap, you can set the size of the peppercorns you want to grind in two steps.

In the Middle Ages, pepper was valued as highly as gold. It has been used for centuries as a "convertible currency" in both East and West. In the Middle Ages, pepper was sometimes used to pay taxes, leases or rents, and sometimes even as a dowry. The demand for pepper provided the drive for Vasco da Gama's exploration of the eastern sea route.
Pepper or pepperbush is a creeping plant native to the tropics that bears its fruit in clusters. 15 meters long, strongly branched, with very flexible, ovate or heart-shaped leaves and 8-10 cm long, drooping spiky inflorescences. Its fruit is the size of a pea, initially green or reddish when ripe. It blooms all year round and has continuously ripening fruit. The source of the sharp taste of pepper is the outer layer of the fruit, which contains piperine.
How to use
Black pepper is a universal spice that can be used in many dishes. Whole peppers are used in meats, fish, soups, sauces, broths and marinades. It is important to add it to the food at the beginning of cooking, thanks to this we will have time to bring out its characteristic, slightly burning taste.
