Collection: Black Pepper (Piper nigrum)

Sharp. Warm. Piquant.

History:

Black Pepper is native to Asia and is the most widely traded spice in the world. There is documented evidence of its use in India as far back as 4,000 years ago as an effective counter to infections. It remained rare and expensive until the Dutch brought it to Europe in the 16th century.

Source:

Today, Vietnam is the world’s largest producer and exporter of the spice. A climbing, leafy perennial, the Black Pepper vine’s small red fruit is sundried, then steam distilled, to produce this most invigorating of essential oils. Ours is certified organic, sourced from its native India.
