Whole white peppercorns from Malwatte, packed in a flat printed sachet that holds 60g. White pepper comes from the same berries as black, left to ripen longer and stripped of the dark outer skin before drying; it tastes sharp and hot, with less of the woody note of black pepper.
Malwatte has grown pepper since 2011, and the maker says the International Pepper Community named it the largest pepper grower in Sri Lanka in 2016. Uva is a province in the hills of Sri Lanka.
In the pack
- 60g of whole white peppercorns
- Flat printed sachet with a grey and tan label
The grey label prints the name in English, Sinhala and Tamil, the words "All Natural", the net weight and a reminder to use the contents within 60 days of opening.
In the kitchen
- Grind into white sauces, mashed potato and creamy soups
- Season fish, eggs and clear broths
- Use in Chinese style stir fries and fried rice
- Fill a separate grinder for pale dishes
Storage
Keep the sachet tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. The label asks you to use the contents within 60 days of opening; tipping them into an airtight jar after opening helps.
