Ground White Pepper

$9.99
The pulverized core of a black peppercorn, husked of its dark, oil-packed husk, white peppercorn has a bite which is similar to classic pepper, but the taste is milder and the smell isn’t as fragrant. While that might sound like a loss, it’s actually what makes white peppercorn so unique—you can get a little bit of the mild heat and nose-clearing brightness of peppercorn, without the dominating aroma we associate with black pepper. Because of that, it plays nicely with other spices and is most prevalent in Chinese and Vietnamese dishes (or even sweets!) for that very reason. It’s also often called for in cream soups and other light-colored dishes.

Small Tin: 1.4 oz

Honestly very disappointing...

I have purchased and enjoyed several Spicewalla blends and rubs, so I decided to come here to restock on plain white pepper, which is a staple in my household (in particular, my dad uses a lot of white pepper for simple Thai homecooking). I don't know if it's because of the particular cultivar or what, but the smell and taste were unlike any other white pepper I've had in the past, including generic supermarket brands and at least one other online spice seller's product.

There was none of the pleasant and mildly peppery, almost floral aroma and taste that I'm used to. Instead, it tasted dull and bitter, with an unpleasantly sharp herbal scent. I also tried the ground black pepper, and while unimpressive in flavor/aroma, it at least tasted like black pepper. Again, maybe this is just a different cultivar than I'm used to, but I don't think I'll be ordering this again.

We appreciate you sharing your experience and honesty, and agree that different varieties of peppers can produce a wide range of diverse aromas and tastes.
