WHOLE organic white pepper in a glass jar 120 ml

This unique pepper grows in the Indian highlands, and has a fine, complex flavor due to its exceptionally high content of essential oils. White pepper is hotter, but less aromatic than black or green pepper. All types of pepper (white, black, glass) come from the same plant but their tastes differ depending on their maturity and the treatment carried out after harvesting. To obtain white pepper, the pepper berries are harvested when ripe, and soaked in water to remove the skin (and turn the grains white). The grains are then dried to produce the famous little white peppercorns. The process to produce white pepper is laborious, which is why it is more expensive than black pepper. Also, the quality of pepper varies greatly and if the water used to clean the grains is not clean, the pepper may taste rancid. We exclusively use indigenous, often endangered and extremely aromatic pepper varieties that have been used for generations by local communities for traditional spice cultivation.
