The fruits of the pepper plant are normally harvested when green and unripe and dried until they turn black. However, pepper only gains a fine spiciness when its grains are harvested exactly at the time of ripeness. If the red skin is removed from these ripe peppercorns, the result is white pepper, the mildest commercial form of the spice, as the pungent substance piperine is mainly stored directly under the skin. The result: a finer taste with less pungency.

Until a few decades ago, the spice trade divided its precious products very diversely according to provenance and trade classes. But today the market is largely dominated by colorful bags with dreary monotony. Not with us: We offer original provenances and the best qualities - in terms of the actual goods, but also in terms of testing, preparation and storage. Behind this are traditional producers, some of whom have been dedicated to their spices for generations, as well as enthusiasts who have only been following their vocation with enthusiasm for a few years. All our spices are gently dried directly after harvesting, which preserves the flavor-bearing ingredients in the best possible way. You notice it in the decisive more in aroma fineness and spice intensity.
