How to store and use your Brazilian black pepper?

Pepper is sold too often in powder in the trade is sad.

In this form, it will quickly lose its aromas to leave only a taste with no tessitura.

To make the most of the scent of pepper, it is best to always buy whole grains and grind it at the last moment with a coarse-mill or pestle.

Store your pepper away from light and temperature shock. Especially if you buy in a 500g vacuum bag. The packaging of 50g PET bottle and sachet up to 200g are specially designed to preserve the flavors of pepper and not to let UV rays pass.

Be careful never to leave it for too long in cooking, it can become bitter. Add it unique at the end of cooking.

A little advice: Never have your hand too heavy on the pepper or it can simply transform your dish.
