Usage Tips

Freshly ground black peppercorns have much more Flavour than pre-ground pepper. To retain the most flavour from black peppercorns, it is best to grind the peppercorns just before adding to food.

Storage Tips

Store in a tightly sealed glass container in a cool, dark and dry place. Whole peppercorns will keep almost indefinitely, while ground pepper will stay fresh for about three months. Pepper can also be frozen, although this will make its flavour more pronounced.
