PEPE - Black pepper

Black pepper is one of the oldest and most traded spices in the world – but there's a world of difference between industrially packaged household pepper and carefully selected peppercorns. PEPE uses aromatically ripe black peppercorns that only develop their full potential when ground: spicy, but not harsh, with warm wood and citrus notes on the finish.

Freshly ground over grilled meat, pasta, or ripe tomatoes – or coarsely crushed in marinades and sauces. Black pepper harmonizes particularly well with robust red wines like a Syrah or Primitivo, whose peppery notes it reflects in the glass. Tip: Grind peppercorns just before use to preserve volatile aromatic compounds.
