WHAT IS SMOKED BLACK PEPPER ?

Discover smoked black pepper , an exceptional spice that enriches dishes with incomparable aromatic depth . Its genesis begins with the careful harvesting of black pepper berries, picked before they are fully ripe. Once harvested, these berries are delicately dried under the sun , transforming their color to an intense black and concentrating their spicy flavors . How do you recognize a sun-dried pepper, quite simply by its beautiful wrinkled color.

The Smoking Process

Smoking dried berries is a crucial step in the process of creating smoked black pepper. Carried out cold, this process exposes the berries to smoke without heating them directly , thus preserving all the richness of the natural aromas of the pepper while giving them a subtle smoky touch .

The berries are delicately placed in a smoker where they are slowly steeped in smoke, often over several weeks. The choice of wood is essential , each species contributing to shaping a distinctive note in the aromatic profile of the pepper.

Wood Species for Smoking

Beech Wood : Known for its light smoking which adds a subtle woody touch .
Oak Wood : Offers a robust flavor , often used for smoking foods.
Apple and Cherry Wood : These fruit woods give a sweet sweetness , perfectly balanced with the spiciness of the pepper.
Rosewood : Sometimes chosen for its delicate smoking, revealing subtle notes of citrus and menthol .

It is crucial to carefully select smoking wood , as certain resinous species such as pine or spruce can alter the taste of pepper by giving it an undesirable bitterness.
