A pepper corn carries with it centuries of history, arduous journeys over land and sea and the growth of economies and empires. It is the spice that launched a thousand ships.
Native to the monsoon rainforests of Kerala, black pepper, a sun-dried berry of the pepper vine, is one of the earliest known, and most widely used, spices in the world.
