Profile: Love the word “mélange”? So elegant and fitting for this vivacious peppery combination.
Details:
White, green, and black pepper are all the same fruit from the same blooming plant. The only distinction is in the processing.
Black pepper is made by roasting or drying the fruits until the hulls turn dark black. The hull is removed from white pepper during cleaning and drying. Green peppercorns are the same berries, but plucked early.
Pink peppercorns are the berries of the Peruvian pepper tree, which grows in South and North America.
So, what's the fifth peppercorn in this mix?
berries.
Strange as it may sound, allspice berries add a pungent, earthy flavor to the other peppercorns. In general, the combination is fruity and musky with overtones of cherry. Put it in your peppermill and never use black pepper again.
