Organic pepper | crushed | 0,5-1,5mm | black

What is it about / Product description

This organic pepper from Biova comes from certified organic cultivation in Sri Lanka and is coarsely cracked with a grain size of around 0.5–1.5 mm. The black peppercorns are gently crushed after drying, resulting in an aromatic, coarse-grained spice with visible pieces. The intense pepper aroma with pronounced yet balanced heat makes it a versatile base for everyday cooking.

Thanks to the coarse granulation, the organic pepper distributes evenly over dishes and provides heat that can be easily dosed. Biova focuses on bulk goods of consistent quality, ideal for gastronomy, manufacturers and demanding home cooks. Gentle processing helps preserve the essential oils and the typical warm, spicy character of black pepper.

Coarsely cracked pepper is excellent for final seasoning directly at the table, as well as for marinades, rubs and spice blends. In the bulk version, the organic pepper can be used flexibly in larger quantities, for example in professional kitchens or for producing your own spice creations. This way you can make full use of the aroma of black pepper in a practical, ready-to-use form.

Origin

The pepper plants for this black organic pepper grow in the tropical regions of Sri Lanka under warm and humid climatic conditions. The combination of rich soils and high humidity promotes an intense aroma. Biova sources the raw material from selected organic farms that operate according to strict ecological standards.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The pepper is cultivated on trellises and harvested by hand at optimal ripeness. After harvesting, the green berries are fermented and sun-dried until they develop their typical black color. The pepper is then gently cracked to the desired grain size of 0.5–1.5 mm before being packed as bulk goods.

Special features

Characteristic is the coarse, uniform granulation, which lies between whole and ground pepper. This gives the product an intense release of aroma combined with a pleasant texture on the plate. Compared to finely ground pepper, the aroma remains stable for longer, as the pieces offer less surface area for oxidation.

Differences in origin and processing

Pepper from Sri Lanka is often characterized by a warm, spicy, slightly fruity profile that differs from very hot or more earthy origins. The combination of sun-dried berries and gentle cracking at Biova results in a balanced ratio of heat, fragrance and bite. For users who value consistent grain size and reliable quality, this bulk product offers a dependable basis.

Taste & smell

On the nose, the black organic pepper shows an intense, slightly smoky and warm, spicy aroma with fine fruity nuances. On the palate, it develops a pronounced but not overpowering heat, accompanied by a pleasant pepperiness. The coarse structure provides small, aromatic accents with noticeable bite when eating.
