Black Peppercorns Tellicherry, Whole

Our Tellicherry peppercorns are sourced directly from India, considered to produce some of the highest quality peppercorns in the world. During the Age of Discovery, black pepper and the profit of the spice trade was one of the reasons Portugal, Spain, France, and other European nations sailed the world and expanded the map: to find new sources of spice. Nearly all pepper traded in the ancient world made its way through Malabar on the Indian peninsula, and this is the main reason the region developed as a major port and trading post in the ancient world. We don’t need to tell you how to use the black peppercorns, because they’re so versatile; they compliment any dish. Tellicherry peppercorns are bigger in size, and pack a more robust, bolder flavor compared to malabar variety. Grind them fresh at home to bring out their best flavor and aroma.
