Whole Tellicherry Black Pepper SANTA MARIA 450 g – whole peppercorns, culinary spice

Whole Tellicherry Black Pepper SANTA MARIA 450 g is a pack of premium whole peppercorns selected for size and aroma. Tellicherry peppercorns are larger than standard black pepper and offer a pronounced, complex fragrance with citrus and woody undertones. Supplied in a 450 g bulk pack, these whole peppercorns are intended for grinding fresh to release oils and flavor, and are suitable for use in mills, grinders, or as whole berries in pickling and stocks.

Advantages

This product provides consistently large, uniform peppercorns with a rich aromatic profile that holds up well during cooking. The whole form preserves volatile oils until grinding, delivering fresher, more intense flavor than pre-ground pepper. The 450 g pack is practical for home kitchens that use pepper frequently as well as for small-scale catering and restaurant back-of-house use.

How to use

For most applications, grind peppercorns just before use to preserve essential oils and maximize aroma. Adjust grind size according to recipe requirements: coarse grind for steaks and roasts, medium for sauces and marinades, fine for dressings. When using whole berries in stocks or pickles, add them early in the cooking process to extract flavor slowly. Store unopened pack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; transfer to an airtight container after opening to maintain freshness.

Usage recommendations

Use a dedicated pepper grinder or mill and avoid mixing with other spices to keep the pepper’s pure aroma. For the freshest taste, grind immediately before serving and use within a few months after opening for optimal flavor retention.
