Black Pepper & Peppercorns

Watkins Pepper has been one of the finest manufacturers of black pepper in the world since 1895, 
winning the "Grand Prix with Gold" Medal at the Paris Exposition in 1928 with its strict attention to 
purity and top quality.

Black pepper is, without a doubt, the world’s most popular and important spice. Of the total spice usage nationwide, about a third is devoted to pepper. It is used in virtually every cuisine in the world. Its versatility and popularity have earned it the title "The King of Spices." Watkins has been famous for pepper for over a hundred years, and has always purchased the best peppercorns available on the market. These top grade peppercorns are always clean and uniform, and are carefully screened for twigs and other fillers before being granulated. Once granulated, the pepper is immediately packed into our trademark 
black tin.

• Malabar and Lampong peppercorns: 
The strongest in flavor; preferred for processing because they retain more flavor. The Malabar 
variety comes from the coast of India; Lampong is from Indonesia.

• Exclusive granulating process: 
Watkins exclusive process granulates each berry into distinct particles rather than crushing or grinding 
them into dust. Our process doesn’t create as much friction, which can evaporate the essential oils by 
generating heat. The result is better flavor retention.

• Carefully screened: 
Stems and other debris are meticulously removed to ensure the purest pepper flavor.

with anything but the best. At Watkins, we buy top-quality Malabar and Lampong peppercorns, then granulate 
them through our exclusive process, which preserves their high essential oil content. Certified Kosher.
