Black Pepper • White Pepper

Black pepper is created using green, unripe peppercorn berries, and then fermenting and sun-drying them until they shrivel and turn hard and black.

White pepper is created by picking the peppercorn berries when they are ripe, then soaking them and removing the outer layer, leaving the light inner peppercorn.

Choose the right grind size.

The size of granulation of ground pepper is measured as Mesh Size. The larger the mesh number, the smaller the granulation. A 30-mesh product has a much finer granulation compared to a 12-mesh product. The finer the mesh, the more volatile oils are released, and the more flavorful the pepper. The amount of dust present in pepper grinds is referred to as Fines.
