PRISMATIC PEPPERCORNS + STRIKING SALTS

PICK PRETTY PEPPERCORNS
Indulge in the art of seasoning and let our exquisite selection of peppercorns add a touch of magic to your favorite recipes. These tiny flavor powerhouses come in a variety of captivating colors, textures, and tastes, ensuring your dishes are a feast for the senses.

Black Peppercorns - Boldness that knows no bounds: Hailing from Vietnam, our black peppercorns are the quintessential spice you need to invigorate your meals. Their robust and unmistakable flavor, coupled with a warm and earthy aroma, adds depth and complexity to a vast array of dishes. Whether you choose the whole, dried peppercorns for grinding or opt for the convenience of ground or cracked black peppercorns, the fresh pungency is sure to tinge your foods with mouth-watering wow.

Green Peppercorns - Zesty bursts of zing: Delve into the vibrant flavors of our green peppercorns. Picked at an early stage of maturity and carefully processed to preserve their unripe color and the refreshing 'freshness' of their flavor, these hard berries offer a unique taste sensation. They boast a fresh, slightly tart profile with a bold and lively aroma, while being less sharp and astringent in flavor. With a hint of heat and a brighter zest, they are an ideal choice for enhancing marinades, salad dressings, and a variety of meats, such as poultry or fish. Their lively kick enlivens every bite, adding an exciting twist to your culinary creations.

White Peppercorns - Classic elegance in every grind: Our white peppercorns are the epitome of timeless sophistication. With a more refined and mellow flavor compared to black peppercorns, they add a subtle heat and complexity to your culinary creations. Embrace their fine ground form for a seamless integration into creamy sauces, mashed potatoes, and light-colored dishes, elevating them to a new level of tasteful elegance.

Pink Peppercorns - A pinch of pink perfection: Our pink peppercorns, hailing from the lush lands of Brazil, may not be the same species as their counterparts, but they offer a delightful twist. These rosy orbs possess a mild, fruity flavor with subtle hints of sweetness. Sprinkle them over salads, grilled meats, or even desserts to impart a delicate and visually stunning touch.
