Gourmet Peppercorn Mixer

Gourmet Peppercorn Mixer By bringing the flavors of four varieties of peppercorn together in one blend, the people who choose our Gourmet Peppercorn Mixer get to experience the myriad world of peppercorns in one bite. Hand-blended in small batches in our facility from black, white, green, and pink peppercorns, our Gourmet Peppercorn Mixer is fruity and sweet, gently vegetal, piney and pleasantly bitter, with a clean, peppery burn. Black, white, and green peppercorns average about 2% volatile oil, while pink peppercorns have nearly 4% volatile oil by weight, so this blend is a palette of assertive flavors. Black, white, and green peppercorns are all berries from the same exact plant; the manner in which they are harvested and processed accounts for the color and flavor differences. Black peppercorns are picked when the berries are not fully ripened, and then left in the sun to dry. This initiates oxidation, turning the berries wrinkly and black. Black pepper tastes citrusy
