Black Peppercorns

Black pepper is a spice known and appreciated throughout the world. However, Il Mercante di Spezie has selected only the best peppercorns from the coast of Malabar in the south of India.

This black pepper is the same peppercorn as the green pepper that after harvest is fermented and dried, giving it its dark colour and wrinkled look that we all know. In addition, this process accentuates the aroma and the spicy and hot flavour sensation.
