Our ground white pepper is made from fully ripe Vietnamese pepper berries. The berries are soaked, rubbed and dried, then the seed is ground to a fine powder and steam treated. It has a characteristic spicy, aromatic and pungent flavour, and a greyish creamy-white colour that blends into products without dark specks.
Wholesale White Pepper for Butchers and Food Producers
White pepper is a staple in traditional British sausage seasonings, pork pies, white sauces and pale meat products, where you want pepper heat without visible flecks. The fine 60 mesh grind disperses evenly through sausage meat and mixes. The 25kg sack suits butchers and manufacturers using white pepper in volume, and it works well alongside our sausage seasonings.

FAQs
What is the difference between white pepper and black pepper?
Both come from the same plant. Black pepper is made from unripe berries dried whole. White pepper is made from ripe berries with the outer skin removed, giving a milder-looking, pale powder with a sharp, earthy heat.
Why use white pepper in sausages?
White pepper gives the heat butchers expect in traditional sausages without leaving dark specks in the meat, which keeps the finished product looking clean.
Do you sell a smaller pack?
Yes. For smaller quantities, see our Ground White Pepper 1kg pack.
