This organic smoked black pepper is produced by hand in the Kerala region of India. The pepper berries are picked by hand when fully ripe, then dried in the sun before being cold smoked with wood chips from local fruit trees for several days. This smoking method gives the pepper a unique and delicate flavor. Organic smoked black pepper from Kerala has a complex aromatic profile with notes of smoke, wood and dried fruits. It's less spicy than classic black pepper, but it adds a subtle depth of flavor to any savory dish. This organic smoked black pepper is ideal for seasoning grilled meats, roasted vegetables, soups and sauces. It is also delicious sprinkled over scrambled eggs or fried potatoes. To take full advantage of its flavors, we recommend using it freshly ground. Product from organic farming Organic label by Ecocert FR-BIO-01
