Pondicherry white pepper

Pondicherry pepper is cultivated in the state of Tamil Nadu, India (formerly called Madras), and is recognized as one of the world’s oldest and highest-quality pepper varieties. White pepper is produced from fully ripened black peppercorns, which are soaked in slow-flowing water to remove the dark outer husk. This process reveals the light core of the peppercorns, giving it its characteristic color and a more delicate flavor profile. White pepper has a mild yet rich aroma and a gentle pungency that develops gradually. The absence of the outer husk not only reduces its heat but also accentuates its deep, earthy notes.

Use freshly ground for chicken, fish, rice, sauces and soups.
