Our white peppercorns provide delicate, earthy flavours to a variety of international dishes and are a perfect complement to pepper grinders. For a mild peppery zest without the coloured flecks, whole peppercorns work well for mixing into marinades or freshly cracked into cream-based soups and sauces. Black pepper, which has a considerably more pungent zest, is a fantastic substitute for white pepper.
History of White Peppercorn
Since they both come from the same fruit, the histories of the white and black peppercorns are intricately entwined. The drupes of the Piper nigrum plant are where black and white peppercorns are found. The brown skin of white peppercorns has been removed, which changes both the spice’s flavour and appearance. The drupes must ripen before being soaked in order for the skins to be removed to produce white peppercorns.
Pepper has long been one of the most significant spices in human history. In fact, it may be said that salt is its only rival in terms of value. The history of the peppercorn, which comprises both black and white pepper, is mostly what makes up the spice trade. Southeast Asia is the home of the Piper nigrum plant, and Indian cooks were using peppercorns as early as 2000 BCE. When mummifying bodies, the Ancient Egyptians employed pepper; Ramesses II’s mummy contained peppercorns; and it is thought that pepper was used as money in Ancient Rome.
In the ninth century, pepper was an important product in England, and in 1180, a guild of pepperers was established in London. Throughout the Middle Ages, the Venetians and Genoese would control the entire European pepper trade.
The majority of white pepper consumed now comes from Indonesia. Particularly, it originates from Bangka, an island that lies to the southeast of Sumatra. The white pepper from Brazil, which is the second-largest producer, is mild in comparison to that from Indonesia.
