Production & Sourcing

Harvesting: Ripe berries, known as black peppercorns, are harvested from the Piper nigrum plant.

Drying: The harvested berries are spread out to dry under controlled conditions. This drying process reduces moisture content and concentrates the flavor.

Shriveling: As the berries dry, they shrink and darken, developing their characteristic wrinkled texture.

Curing: The dried berries undergo a curing process, either through sun drying or mechanical methods. This step further intensifies their flavor and color.

Sorting: The cured berries are sorted to remove any debris or imperfect peppercorns, ensuring a uniform product.
