The dried, shell-less peppercorns have a delicate, fruity aroma and an intense, spicy taste. The fruits are harvested just before they are fully ripe and are dried.

A mild hint of pepper and fine fruit nuances are apparent in the scent of the peppercorns, but the flavor, however, is distinctly black pepper.

Tips & Preparation:
Black pepper is very versatile and is used crushed or ground fresh. It enhances savory as well as sweet food: salads, dressings, fresh pasta, meat, fish and gingerbread all benefit from its spice. Tip: pepper tastes best freshly ground or crushed. It should be use added at the end of the cooking time, to best preserve its flavor.
