White Pepper - Ground - 2oz

White pepper is black pepper with its outer skin removed — a small difference in processing that produces a noticeably different spice. Hotter and more direct than black, with less of the floral complexity but more of a clean, penetrating heat, it is the choice in light-colored sauces and dishes where black pepper's visible flecks would be intrusive. In French and Chinese cooking it is essential; in Moroccan spice blends it adds heat without color.

Flavor Profile Sharp and direct with a clean, penetrating heat and less floral complexity than black pepper. Earthy and slightly fermented, with a long, hot finish.

Recommended Uses – Use in béchamel, cream sauces, and pale soups where black specks are unwanted – Add to spice blends where clean heat without color is preferred – Season white fish, delicate poultry, or light egg dishes – Incorporate into Chinese-style stir-fries and hot and sour soup – Use in spiced mashed potatoes, potato gratin, or pale gratins

Cooking Tips White pepper is sharper than black — use slightly less than recipes call for when substituting.
