Cooking tips

Only grind what you need.

Keeping pepper whole helps to preserve its essential oils and flavor, so avoid pre-grinding your pepper in big batches.

Toast pepper to bring out its flavor.

Dry-toasting peppercorns before crushing will stimulate the piperine — that’s what makes pepper taste pungent —giving the pepper a rounder, stronger taste.

The flavor mellows with time.

If you’re using ground black pepper in a long-cooked or braised dish, the flavor will mellow, so finish with some freshly ground pepper to reinforce the flavor.

Making your own rub?

Don’t toast the peppercorns before adding because they will get heat when roasted or grilled.

Most store-bought black pepper is picked when the berries are firm and green in color, for ease of harvest. But Aranya Black Pepper is given the time to slowly ripen on the vine, until it is deep red in color, and full of fruity complexity.

The Parameswaran family has been growing pepper for over 35 years, with the help of the indigenous Adiyar, Kurichiyan and Kurma communities. They grow wild varieties of pepper, transplanted from the surrounding forest.

Perched on the foothills of the Western Ghats—one of the oldest mountain ranges on Earth — the Parmeswaran family farm is home to elephants, tigers, countless birds, insects, and fungus. This biodiversity creates a rich and layered ecosystem, which is reflected in the pepper’s complex tasting notes.

Every year, after the monsoons have receded, the berries ripen, and harvest season begins. The pepper pods are harvested by hand, carefully graded, and dried in the shade to retain their essence. Like nice wine, with a fruity heat in the back.

"Most of their spices have a chance of changing your life"

"Diaspora Co.’s spices reward farmers directly for scrupulous farming, and rewards consumers with [spices] that redefine the categories themselves."

"It’s a small but true joy to change my relationship with a common spice I’d so taken for granted."
