Malabar vs. Tellicherry

Both come from India's Malabar Coast. The difference? Size and ripeness. Tellicherry peppercorns are the largest, most mature berries with complex, fruity notes. Malabar is the standard grade—smaller berries with clean, straightforward flavor. Use Malabar for everyday cooking and Tellicherry when pepper is the star.
