Fine White Sarawak Pepper

White pepper

White pepper is produced from the same fully ripened Piper nigrum berries as black pepper ‚ soaked in running water until the outer hull softens and is rubbed away, then sun-dried to a pale straw color.

White pepper has a warm, direct heat with an earthy, slightly fermented aroma and a clean, lingering finish. Compared to black pepper, its flavor is smoother and less pungent, with subtle musky and woody notes. It provides gentle spice without the sharp bite or bold aromatics of black pepper.

Season béchamel, cream soups, and clear broths with white pepper rather than black for invisible pepper heat.Use in mashed potatoes, vichyssoise, and pale preparations where black specks would compromise the visual.Add to classical French sauces ‚ white pepper is traditional in many French preparations and fine dining contexts.
