Description

When archaeologists discovered Ramses II, they discovered black peppercorns inserted in his nostrils, indicating that he had been ritually mummified. Black pepper and the wealth from the spice trade were one of the reasons that Portugal, Spain, France, and other European powers explored the world and extended the map during the Age of Discovery; to find new supplies of spice. Nearly all pepper traded in the ancient world passed via Malabar, on the Indian Peninsula, and this is one of the key reasons the region grew into a significant port and trading hub. Indeed, black peppercorns play a unique role in human history that is more deeply rooted in nation-building than we realize.

They also have a fantastic flavor.

Due to the presence of capsaicin and piperine, black pepper is used as a spice in nearly all of the world’s cuisines as a pungent, spicy, and heating agent for food. The hickory smoked black pepper’s attractiveness is enhanced by citrus and wood notes. In stews, soups, stocks, and pickles, whole smoked black peppercorns can be used.

Black peppercorns that have been smoked.

Application Suggestions

This Smoked Black Peppercorn pairs well with grilled meats, Bloody Marys, salsa, soups, and vegetables. It can also be added to spice blends or rubs as a finishing pepper. Because it is organically smoked over hickory wood, this versatile condiment adds a mellow smokey taste to any cuisine.

Preparation Basics

It’s better to utilize any spice as soon as possible once it’s been ground. Another option to use whole peppercorns is to put them in a cheese cloth bag and cook them in a stew or soup, then remove the bag before eating. Also worth noting is that pepper loses its flavor over time, so it’s better to add it at the conclusion of the cooking process.
