Bold. Aromatic. Historically prized.
Steenbergs Organic Fairtrade Black Pepper Corns were the first spice in the UK to carry the Fairtrade mark — setting the standard for ethical sourcing and exceptional flavour.
Once known as “Black Gold,” pepper has been traded for over 3,000 years, valued for its intense aroma and culinary versatility. Steenbergs high-quality MG1 grade peppercorns are sourced from smallholder farmers in Kerala, Southern India or Sri Lanka, ensuring both outstanding flavour and strong ethical provenance.
Deeply dark and beautifully aromatic, these peppercorns deliver a sharp bite with bold, rich warmth — the unmistakable character of truly great black pepper. Freshly ground, they transform everyday dishes with vibrant heat and complexity.
For cooks who care about quality, heritage and sourcing, this is pepper worth reaching for.
