Black Gold

Black Pepper
When you hear the term black gold you immediately think of oil. The truth is that it goes much farther back in time than the oil seeps scattered around the world and for which there was no use for.

Black Gold was used to describe Pepper and given the moniker due to the amount of money that peppercorn delivered to the London docks, from the far off spice islands of Indonesia, could be sold for.

    What is the difference in taste between white pepper and black pepper?

      The difference is in the processing of the peppercorn. The outer layer of the sun dried peppercorn turns black and is removed and made into black pepper and the inner seed is white and when finely ground into white pepper it is hotter but not as flavorful as the black.

    By adding black peppers to the foods will change visual and taste of that foods (in good way).
