A Word from Arnaud
Since 2010 I have been selecting the best spices and peppers for you, and smoked black pepper is one of my most surprising favorites: it is the only one in my range that is worked almost like a smoked tea rather than a classic pepper. Here I share everything I've learned about this spice, from smoking to dosing in the kitchen.

What is Smoked Black Pepper?
1
Harvest & Drying
The genesis begins with the careful harvesting of the berries before full maturity. Sun-dried, they develop their wrinkled black coat and concentrate their spicy flavors.
2
The Smoking Process
The crucial step: the berries are exposed to smoke for an extended period. This preserves the piperine (the spiciness) while deeply infusing the core of the peppercorn with intense woody aromas.
3
The Choice of Wood
Beech, spruce, or traditional Asian woods: the choice of essence is vital. We favor mild woods that add a subtle woody touch without bitterness, respecting the citrus notes.
How to use smoked pepper in cooking?
Perfect Pairings
- Meats and fish: Give character to zander, lobster, tuna steak, or white meats.
- Everyday elevated: A pinch on scrambled eggs, a homemade puree, or a roast beef sandwich changes everything.
- Vegetables: Enhance your roasted vegetables or winter soups (pumpkin, squash) with this comforting smoky note.
- Marinades: Deepen the flavor of your BBQ sauces and summer marinades.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between smoked black pepper and classic black pepper?
The starting peppercorn is the same, but the smoking process adds a unique woody aromatic layer that does not exist on a classic pepper, while maintaining the heat of the piperine. Use it as a character spice.
Why choose certain wood essences for smoking?
The choice of wood (beech, spruce, Asian woods) is fundamental. Mild woods like beech provide a light smoke without bitterness, allowing the natural citrus notes of the peppercorn to shine through.
Is smoked black pepper very spicy?
The smoking process preserves the piperine, so the attack is direct. However, it is followed by a woody finish and marine nuances that soften the overall sensation. It is not aggressive; it is complex.
How to dose smoked pepper properly in a recipe?
Always start with a small pinch: the smoky aromas are powerful and spread quickly. Grind it at the last moment to enjoy 100% of its aromatic palette.
Does smoking reduce the shelf life of the pepper?
No, the whole peppercorn keeps just as well as a classic pepper (protected from light and humidity). It is only once ground that the smoke evaporates faster.
