Black pepper (whole) from the virgin forest of Kerala Organic jar 120 ml

This unique pepper grows in the Indian highlands, and has a fine, complex flavor. Black pepper is hotter and more aromatic than green pepper, but it is also milder than white pepper. All types of pepper (white, black, green) come from the same plant but their tastes differ depending on their maturity and the treatment carried out after harvesting. To obtain black pepper, the peppercorns are harvested green, just before their maturity phase and stored in piles for a few days. Due to the fermentation process, they turn black and then shrink as they dry in the sun. Harvest volumes are modest, but the flavor of this pepper is incredibly intense. We exclusively use indigenous, often endangered and extremely aromatic pepper varieties that have been used for generations by local communities for traditional spice cultivation.
