What makes Yahlu Black Pepper special?

A stunning duality defines Yahlu Black Pepper. Vine-ripened at peak maturity, fierce heat driven by world-leading piperine levels and a fragrant bouquet of floral and citrus notes. A rare marriage of power and perfume, born only of its Sri Lankan origin, creating the world’s most dynamic and vital pepper.

Tasting Notes

Bright citrus and green clarity give way to earth, forest, and rain-soaked leaves. Heat follows, building steadily, wave upon wave. Measured, not modest – every note in its place.

“When you smell the pepper in your kitchen, does it make your nostrils flare with sweet, spicy notes of mustard, jasmine, or pine? When you crack peppercorns over your roasted vegetables, do you look forward to chomping down on a kernel? If not, it may be time to chuck your pepper stash and seek out a fresh upgrade, because really good pepper is one of those flavour boosts you'll taste almost every time you cook.”
