What Is White Pepper?
Ground white pepper has a spicy and clean flavor that complements light-colored dishes. It is made from fully ripe pepper berries with the outer husk removed. This gives it a more subtle aroma than black pepper while maintaining a distinct pungency. Our ground white pepper is ideal for seasoning white sauces, fish dishes, and fine soups. It’s easy to measure and blends well into delicate recipes.
Culinary Use of Ground White Pepper
White pepper ground is traditionally used in cream sauces, béchamel, and light soups. It also enhances the flavor of veal, chicken, fish fillets, and vegetables. Its light color makes it ideal for recipes where black pepper specks would be visually distracting.
Try it in salad dressings, vegetarian recipes, or as a final seasoning for steamed vegetables and mashed potatoes. Whether in classic French cuisine or everyday cooking, ground white pepper offers a refined note to any dish.
What Is Pepper?
Pepper comes from the tropical vine Piper nigrum. The plant has heart-shaped green leaves and grows clusters of small white flowers. After pollination, these develop into berries – the peppercorns. Depending on when and how they are processed, different types of pepper result: black, green, and white.
White pepper is made from fully ripe peppercorns. After harvesting, the berries are soaked to remove the skin, then dried to reveal the inner white core – which is then finely ground.
Storage Tips
To maintain the aroma and quality of your ground white pepper, store it in an airtight glass jar with a screw lid. Place the jar in a cool, dry, and dark place. Avoid humidity and direct sunlight to minimize flavor loss.
Before refilling spice jars, sterilize them in boiling water for five minutes. This helps prevent contamination and preserves freshness.
Our white pepper ground is available in different packaging sizes – ideal for home cooks and professional kitchens alike.
