Peppercorn, Tellicherry Black

Peppercorn, Tellicherry Black

Harvested from the finest pepper plants in the lush Malabar Coast of India, Tellicherry peppercorns are handpicked for their superior size and rich, robust taste. The name “Tellicherry” refers to the town of Thalassery (historically anglicized as Tellicherry) located on the Malabar Coast in the Indian state of Kerala. This region is renowned for producing some of the finest black pepper in the world. The unique climate, soil, and traditional cultivation practices of this area contribute to the exceptional quality of Tellicherry peppercorn.

The term “Whole Black Peppercorns” indicates that these peppercorns are unground and in their natural, whole form. This ensures maximum freshness and allows for versatile use,  from grinding fresh to adding whole to dishes for flavor infusion. 

Tellicherry peppercorn is distinguished by size and maturity. Unlike regular black pepper, which is harvested earlier, Tellicherry peppercorns are left on the vine longer to ripen fully. This extended ripening period allows the berries to develop to a larger size, and a more complex flavor profile. Harvesting is done by hand, ensuring only the best berries are selected.

Key Features:

• Exceptional Quality: Grown in the renowned Tellicherry region, these peppercorns are carefully selected to ensure only the largest and most flavorful berries make the cut.
• Robust Flavor: Tellicherry peppercorns offer a bolder, more complex taste with a unique balance of pungency, warmth, and citrusy notes, perfect for enhancing a variety of dishes.
• Versatile Use: Ideal for grinding fresh over steaks, salads, soups, and sauces, or incorporating into spice blends for a gourmet touch.
• Aromatic Delight: The distinctive aroma of Tellicherry peppercorn is both invigorating and alluring, elevating the sensory experience of any meal.
• Natural and Pure: Non-GMO and free from additives, these peppercorns are a natural choice for health-conscious cooks seeking authentic, unadulterated flavor.

Tellicherry Whole Black Peppercorns are perfect for both everyday cooking and special occasions. Their bold flavor pairs well with meats, vegetables, pasta, and even desserts. Grind them fresh to release their full aromatic potential, or use them whole in marinades and pickling recipes. Whether you’re seasoning a juicy steak, adding a kick to your favorite pasta dish, or crafting a homemade spice blend, Tellicherry peppercorns are sure to impress.

In addition to their exceptional flavor, Tellicherry Peppercorn offers several health benefits:
