COMPLEMENTS ALL SAVOURY DISHES

Peppercorns are the berries of a tropical vine. They have a warm pungent slightly nutmeg flavour and a hot, biting taste. Pepper stimulates the digestive juices, increases the appetite and aids digestion.

Black pepper can be used both in cooking and at the table to enhance the flavour and appearance of all savoury dishes.
