Whole Black Pepper - 250g - Espig

Whole black pepper is the most authentic form of pepper. Dried after harvesting the still-green berry, it develops a wrinkled skin that concentrates the essential oils responsible for its woody, slightly fruity notes, and its long-lasting heat. Espig selects its batches with a constant demand for consistency, ensuring homogeneity and reliable spiciness with every restock.

In professional kitchens, whole black pepper is essential in a mortar for marinating red meats and game. Coarsely crushed, it highlights a seared magret or pan-fried beef rib. Infused in cream or a sauce base, it provides gradual heat without aggression. Pastry chefs also use it, freshly ground, in dark chocolate ganaches or spiced shortbread.
