From the Malabar Coast, the King of Spices

Once worth its weight in gold — now distilled drop by drop.

- Native to the lush Malabar Coast of southern India, Piper nigrum vines have been cultivated for over 4,000 years and were once traded as currency along ancient spice routes.

- The essential oil is steam-distilled from sun-dried unripe berries, capturing a drier, more elegant character than the ground spice — peppery, woody and faintly sweet.

- In traditional practices from Ayurveda to medieval European apothecaries, black pepper has long symbolised warmth, vitality and the spark of life.
