Cracked black pepper (12 mesh) gives a strong, pungent, biting pepper flavour with a coarse texture you can see. It is ideal where you want pepper to be seen as well as tasted.
Wholesale Cracked Black Pepper for Butchers
Our Vietnamese black pepper is cracked and sieved to a consistent 12 mesh grade: it all passes through a 1,320 micron screen, with 95% staying on a 710 micron screen. That gives an even, coarse cut with very little dust, so pepper crusts look clean and consistent.

FAQs
What does 12 mesh mean?
Mesh describes the screen size the pepper is sieved through. 12 mesh is a coarse grade, which gives larger cracked pieces than a fine ground pepper.
When should I use cracked rather than ground black pepper?
Use cracked pepper when you want visible texture, such as on a peppered steak or in a coarse sausage. Use ground pepper when you want the flavour to blend in evenly.
