This is THE essential pepper for creating the legendary fresh green peppercorn sauce. Harvested while still young and tender, the peppercorns are picked in clusters and immediately preserved in a salt brine to lock in their vibrant color, characteristic crunch, and fresh aromatic profile.
Aromatic Profile
Unlike dried black pepper, these green peppercorns offer a much fresher, more vegetal taste.
Texture: Pleasantly crisp and "poppy" when bitten into.
Flavor: Bold and full-bodied (corsé) but with a milder heat than black pepper, complemented by herbal and grassy notes.
Preservation: The light brine keeps the berries succulent and ready for immediate use.
Pairings & Inspirations
The Ultimate Steak Sauce: The classic choice for a Filet au Poivre Vert. Simply deglaze your pan with cognac, add heavy cream, and a spoonful of these peppercorns.
Seafood & Fish: Its vegetal freshness pairs beautifully with grilled salmon, trout, or a creamy scallops dish.
Terrines & Pâtés: Frequently used in traditional French charcuterie to provide bursts of flavor and texture.
Poultry: Enhances a creamy chicken fricassee or roasted duck.
Usage Tip
Since these are preserved in brine, they are soft enough to be used whole. To release more flavor into a sauce, you can lightly crush a few of them with the back of a spoon before adding them to your preparation.
INGREDIENTS : green pepper, water, salt, acidifier: citric acid.
