Viva Doria Tellicherry Peppercorns, 12 oz — Steam‑Sterilized Whole Black Pepper with Stainless Steel Grinder

Viva Doria Tellicherry Peppercorns are large, steam-sterilized whole black peppercorns from Kerala, India, sold in a resealable pouch with a stainless-steel adjustable grinder for fresh, bold seasoning.

These whole Tellicherry peppercorns are selected for their larger size and complex flavor—featuring a blend of warm heat and bright citrusy notes—making them a versatile finishing spice for everyday cooking and special meals. Steam-sterilized to meet safety standards while preserving aroma, they arrive in a reclosable stand-up pouch to keep them fresh and include a premium stainless-steel grinder with adjustable coarseness so you control the texture from fine dust to coarse chunks.

What makes Tellicherry peppercorns different from regular black pepper?

Tellicherry peppercorns are harvested later on the vine, which yields bigger berries and a more concentrated essential oil profile compared with ordinary black pepper. The result is a pronounced aroma, layered spiciness, and subtle citrus overtones that show up when cracked or freshly ground.

• Larger berry size increases surface area for aroma release.
• Richer essential oils mean stronger, longer-lasting flavor.
• Distinct citrus and floral notes complement savory and bright dishes.

How should I use these peppercorns in everyday cooking?

Use whole Tellicherry peppercorns wherever fresh-grind pepper adds impact: on steaks, roasted vegetables, salads, sauces, and marinades. Grinding just before serving unlocks volatile oils and maximizes fragrance, while coarse grinds add textural interest to rubs and crusts.

• Grind coarsely for steak crusts and roasted meats.
• Use medium grind for dressings, sauces, and soups.
• Crack lightly for pickling or spice blends to preserve bursts of flavor.

How does the included stainless-steel grinder help preserve flavor?

The included grinder is built from stainless steel to resist corrosion and retain a clean taste as you mill pepper. Its adjustable coarseness lets you select the particle size best suited to the dish, ensuring consistent release of aroma and heat.

• Stainless-steel mechanism prevents metallic aftertaste and lasts longer.
• Adjustable settings from fine to coarse for versatility.
• Pre-filled with whole peppercorns for immediate use out of the pouch.

Are these peppercorns safe and easy to store?

Yes. The peppercorns are steam-sterilized to meet food safety expectations while retaining flavor, and the resealable stand-up pouch simplifies storage. Keep the pouch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain peak aroma over time.

• Steam-sterilized for safety without compromising aroma.
• Resealable stand-up pouch for freshness and convenience.
• Store in a dark, cool cupboard—avoid heat or humidity.
