Tellicherry Pepper 125 g

Black pepper Tellicherry

The world-famous Tellicherry black pepper from India differs from ordinary pepper in the size of its peppercorns, but it is not a different variety of pepper. The Tellicherry category comprises only the largest peppercorns, which, unlike standard-sized peppercorns, have a distinctly stronger aroma but a slightly milder heat. As only the largest peppercorns – otherwise perfectly ordinary – are classified as Tellicherry pepper, they account for just 10 per cent of the total harvest, which is precisely why it is considered a more expensive pepper, though one that wins us over with its distinctive aroma. The peppercorns are harvested before they are fully ripe and are then dried, which gives them their characteristic black colour.

Black pepper is a versatile spice used in a variety of dishes, such as meat, fish and vegetable dishes, poultry dishes, various salads and the like.

Peppercorns are best ground just before use, otherwise the pepper quickly loses its flavour. However, when stored correctly, whole peppercorns can retain their flavour and aroma for years.
