Preserved Green Peppercorns
Moulin Green Peppercorns in Brine 175g are carefully harvested unripe pepper berries, preserved in brine to retain their fresh, vibrant flavour and soft texture. Sourced from Madagascar, these green peppercorns offer a gentler, more rounded heat than black pepper, with subtle notes of fruit and a slight aniseed edge.
The brining process keeps the peppercorns tender and aromatic, making them easy to crush or use whole in cooking. They are particularly well suited to sauces, where they release their flavour gradually, adding depth without overpowering other ingredients. Their mild, fresh character pairs especially well with cream-based sauces, meats and lighter dishes, bringing balance and complexity in a simple, accessible way.

How do green peppercorns differ from black peppercorns?
Green peppercorns are harvested earlier and preserved, giving them a fresher, milder flavour and softer texture compared to the stronger, dried black variety.
Do green peppercorns need to be rinsed before use?
They can be used straight from the brine, but a quick rinse will reduce saltiness if a more delicate flavour is preferred.
Can green peppercorns be used whole or should they be crushed?
Both options work well, depending on the dish. Crushing releases more flavour, while using them whole provides a gentler, more subtle infusion.
