Pure Indian Foods Organic Tellicherry Black Pepper

$19.95

Considered one of the highest-quality varietals of black pepper in the world, tellicherry peppercorns must come from Tellicherry, a coastal city in Kerala, India. Whereas supermarket peppercorns have a mostly sharp, one-note spice, Tellicherry peppercorns taste warm and nutty with an intense zing, citrusy aroma and notes of tea and sandalwood. The growing and supply of these rare peppercorns is so carefully controlled that they’re hard to find at a price that won’t break the bank—we were thrilled to find that Pure Indian Foods offers one. Hand-selected from late-harvest pepper berries, only 10 percent of these floral peppercorns make the cut to qualify as Tellicherry Garbled Special Extra Bold variety. They’re used in some of the best professional kitchens around the world, appreciated for their complexity and moderate heat.
