Origin
Kerala, India

Four hours over pine shavings, at a temperature never exceeding 30°C: that is how gently this pepper is smoked, so that it keeps all of its qualities. The Black Peppercorn Smoked Kerala from Place des Épices is a rare organic black pepper from the Malabar Coast of Kerala, and this smoking makes it round, gently smoky, and of lovely depth. Grind it over ribs or a burger fresh from the grill, or over salmon or a potato salad.
