Malabar Black Pepper

Malabar Coast, Kerala, India

Malabar Black Pepper is the original commodity that drove the spice trade — the black gold that shaped global history. Grown on the Malabar Coast of Kerala, Tellicherry-grade Malabar pepper is the reference against which all other peppers are measured. Its bold, complex, woody-citrus flavour profile and high piperine content (the compound responsible for pepper's bioavailability-enhancing properties) make it the irreplaceable choice for serious culinary and pharmaceutical buyers.
