White Pepper
For Light-Coloured Sauces and Meat Products
White pepper is produced by soaking ripe pepper berries to remove the outer skin and drying the inner seed. It is lighter in colour and less aromatic than black pepper but keeps a pronounced heat, which is why it is chosen for white sauces, cream-based soups, mayonnaise, potato products and light-coloured meat products where dark specks are unwanted. PERDIST compares piperine, moisture, colour and grind size against the supplier specification for wholesale white pepper requests and offers whole and ground options with their documents. For wholesale white pepper the colour and particle expectations of light-coloured products are taken up front, and a sample with the analysis document accompanies the quotation. Packaging options and the delivery plan follow your line. For repeat orders the shipment programme is planned together so the specification stays the same.
