Black Peppercorn, Costa Rica
£5.00 – £12.50
About this product
Bold, fragrant and beautifully rounded, these black peppercorns from Costa Rica offer far more than just heat. Grown in a lush tropical climate, they develop a deep, complex character with warm spice, a creamy subtleness and a gentle, lingering kick.
Freshly cracked, they release an intense aroma that instantly lifts any dish — from simple salads and eggs to slow-cooked stews and grilled meats. There’s a natural vibrancy here that makes this pepper a true kitchen staple, but with a distinctly gourmet edge.
How to use:
Grind generously over finished dishes, or crush and add early to build depth and warmth.
Why we love it:
• Bright, aromatic heat with a smooth finish
• High-quality peppercorns with excellent freshness
• Versatile enough for everyday cooking, special enough to stand out
