Black Pepper
Bold and Pungent

How Black Pepper is Made
Black pepper is harvested from the Piper nigrum vine and processed by drying the peppercorns until they become dark and wrinkled. The drying process intensifies the pepper’s flavor and pungency. The peppercorns are used whole, cracked, or ground to add spice and depth to dishes.
