Aore Island Whole Black Peppercorns
Description
Grown on a single-estate plantation on Aore Island, Vanuatu, these premium whole black peppercorns are cultivated using traditional island farming methods and harvested in small batches.
Our pepper vines are cared for by local horticulturalist T-Rex Uri from Malo Island, whose deep knowledge of traditional Melanesian farming helps maintain the natural strength and aroma of the crop. The peppercorns are hand-harvested, sun-dried, and carefully selected to preserve their natural oils and bold flavour.
This single-origin pepper delivers a rich aroma, warm heat, and complex flavour that chefs and home cooks value in grinders, marinades, and finishing dishes.
Perfect for everyday cooking, steak seasoning, seafood, vegetables, and gourmet kitchens.

HOW TO USE
Use whole peppercorns in a grinder to release the freshest flavour and aroma. Freshly ground pepper enhances meats, seafood, vegetables, soups, sauces, marinades, and salad dressings.
For chefs and serious home cooks, whole peppercorns can also be cracked with a mortar and pestle to create a stronger flavour for steak rubs, barbecue seasoning, and spice blends.
Grinding pepper fresh just before cooking releases the natural oils, producing a richer and more aromatic seasoning than pre-ground pepper.
