McCormick Culinary Cracked Black Pepper for Culinary Use, 16 oz

Black pepper is a spice derived from sun-dried, aged pepper berries, which are harvested after a period of seven to ten days. This drying process results in a grainy, coarse texture and a robust flavor profile. Featuring a unique piney taste and a pungent aroma, cracked black pepper utilizes premium split peppercorns; these not only enhance the visual appeal of dishes but also serve as exquisite garnishes in various recipes.

Coarse-ground black pepper consists of sizable pieces of black pepper berries that impart a strong burst of flavor with every bite. Notably, larger berry fragments retain their flavor for a longer duration during storage, which is why many chefs prefer blends made from substantial black pepper pieces, like this cracked pepper mix. Offered in 16-ounce containers, this product is an ideal size for any restaurant kitchen, ensuring you always have it within reach.

Cracked black pepper is particularly delightful on a variety of foods. From tossed salads and pasta to marinades, steak, chops, and kabobs, it delivers a robust texture and bold flavor. Additionally, cracked black peppercorns elevate the visual aspect, taste, and spiciness of myriad dishes, including specialties like Roesti potatoes topped with sour cream, chives, and smoked salmon, as well as pork chops served with peppercorn cream sauce alongside caramelized red onion gateau and apples.

For those interested in dressings, cracked black pepper can be used to create a classic peppercorn ranch, a signature accompaniment for Cobb salads. It also works wonderfully in a spicy black pepper cream sauce, perfect for enhancing shrimp and lobster ravioli dishes. If you’re a fan of bacon, imagine trying it on a black Angus burger draped in barbecue sauce and garnished with crispy frizzled onions.
