Black Peppercorn, Costa Rica

Bold, fragrant and beautifully rounded, these black peppercorns from Costa Rica offer far more than just heat. Grown in a lush tropical climate, they develop a deep, complex character with warm spice, a creamy subtleness and a gentle, lingering kick. Freshly cracked, they release an intense aroma that instantly lifts any dish — from simple salads and eggs to slow-cooked stews and grilled meats. There’s a natural vibrancy here that makes this pepper a true kitchen staple, but with a distinctly gourmet edge. How to use: Grind generously over finished dishes, or crush and add early to build depth and warmth. Why we love it: • Bright, aromatic heat with a smooth finish • High-quality peppercorns with excellent freshness • Versatile enough for everyday cooking, special enough to stand out
