The production

The green peppercorns are harvested in an immature state, in contrast to the black and white pepper. Then the enzyme responsible for the black coloration is destroyed. This happens by boiling the pepper in water. Only after this process, in the next phase, the drupes are dried. In order to preserve the color of the green pepper, it is dried with the technique of vacuum in high-temperature ovens.

It is ideal for seasoning fish dishes as well as white and red meat. Think of the traditional dish of Italian cuisine, the famous Filetto al Pepe Verde, or the many other dishes made with vegetables or vegetable soups. Green pepper goes with all of them.
