Black Pepper

What is Black Pepper?

Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is one of the most widely used spices in the world, known as the “King of Spices.” It is produced from unripe pepper berries that are harvested and dried, resulting in a strong, pungent flavour.

Indonesia is one of the leading producers of black pepper, which is globally recognized for producing high-quality pepper with bold aroma and strong pungency.
