Madagascar White Pepper — Purity and Aromatic Finesse
Our Madagascar white pepper is made using the traditional method: ripe black pepper berries are soaked in running water (retting), then hand-hulled to reveal the white grain at the core. This long, meticulous process produces a pepper of incomparable finesse and aromatic purity.
Aromatic Profile
Musky, lactic and slightly ammoniated notes, characteristic of great white peppers. Fewer terpenes than black pepper, but more depth and complexity on the palate. Similar heat to black pepper, but a very different profile.
Recommended Uses
White pepper is the pepper of classic French cuisine: it seasons white sauces, veloutés, beurre blanc and fine forcemeats without turning them black. In modern cooking, it pairs beautifully with oysters, fish carpaccio and fresh cheeses. Freshly ground, it reveals far more complex aromas than pre-packaged industrial white pepper.
Storage
Store the whole peppercorns in a grinder or an airtight jar, away from light and humidity. Grind just before use. Optimal shelf life: 12 to 24 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is white pepper made?
Ripe black pepper berries are soaked in running water for 7 to 10 days, then rubbed to remove the outer skin. The white grains are then sun-dried. This lengthy process explains why white pepper is more expensive than black.
Which dishes is it best suited for?
White pepper excels in all white sauces where black pepper would leave unsightly specks: béchamel, velouté, cream sauce, blanquette. It also delicately seasons carpaccios and raw fish tartares.
