Altes Gewürzamt: Tellicherry-Pfeffer, schwarzer Pfeffer, ganz, 90 g

Thalassery, formerly Tellicherry, is located in the northwest of the Indian state of Kerala and is the namesake for one of the very special and best pepper varieties that India has to offer. Tellicherry pepper is made from fully ripe, red peppercorns that are fermented and dried with the whole fruit flesh. This process turns the pepper black, but not jet black; instead, it has a pleasantly deep brown hue. This method enhances the aroma significantly: the fully ripe peppercorns develop a distinctly nutty flavor as well as a strong spiciness. This pepper is primarily used with dark meats such as game and beef, but also in chocolate desserts.
