TASTE
The aroma is not as strong as with other types of pepper, but white pepper has a special spiciness.

PRODUCTION
Peppercorns are the berries of the pepper plant, which is native to India. The berries are initially green and turn red when ripe. Green, black, red, and white peppercorns all come from the same plant. The difference lies in the harvest time and processing. Processing white peppercorns, which are somewhat milder, is more complex: When the berries are almost fully ripe, they are harvested and placed in sacks. Packed in this way, they are soaked in water and then dried. This process loosens the softened pulp from the seeds, making them easy to peel. Afterward, the peppercorns are laid out in the sun to dry for an extended period.
