Sometime ago I bought a Peugeot pepper mill and it came with a small sample of their own black pepper. I was shocked at how much stronger, hot and nice the taste and smell was compared whatever I had in a jar from the grocery store. It reminded me of black pepper I was used to some decades ago back in Europe.

I bought a few packets of this Peugeot pepper and it really is great, but it’s also expensive. Given what I know about coffe and irs flavours, I’m guessing most of it comes down to how fresh the pepper is.

Do you know of a source that sells fresh black pepper?
