Gourmet Peppercorns 50g

Recipes & Uses

Why Choose Gourmet Peppercorns?

Four peppercorn varieties in one blend
Instead of relying on a single type of pepper, you get black, white, green and pink peppercorns together.

More complex than ordinary black pepper
The combination creates layers of peppery heat, aroma and brighter notes rather than one single flavour.

Made for grinding fresh
Keeping the peppercorns whole helps preserve their aroma until you're ready to use them.

Looks as good as it tastes
The mix of black, white, green and pink peppercorns makes an attractive addition to a clear pepper mill and a beautiful finishing seasoning.

Perfect when pepper deserves to be noticed
Use it on good steak, seared seafood, salads and simple vegetables where the freshly ground pepper can become part of the experience.

What Do Gourmet Peppercorns Taste Like?

Gourmet Peppercorns give you a more layered pepper experience than using black pepper alone.

The blend combines different types of peppercorns, so each turn of the grinder brings a slightly different balance of:

Warm peppery heat
Earthy savouriness
Fresh aromatic notes
Subtle brightness

The result is still recognisably pepper — just more complex.

That's what makes this blend particularly good as a finishing pepper, where its aroma and character don't disappear underneath lots of other ingredients.

What's in the Blend?

SpicenEasy Gourmet Peppercorns combine:

Black Peppercorns
White Peppercorns
Green Peppercorns
Pink Peppercorns

Rather than choosing one pepper for one particular purpose, this blend gives you several flavour characteristics together.

It's especially useful when you want a pepper mill on the table that does something more interesting than standard black pepper.

How to Use Gourmet Peppercorns

Steak

This is where the blend really comes into its own.

Grind generously over steak before searing or grilling.

For a stronger pepper crust, use a medium-coarse grind and gently press the pepper onto the surface of the meat.

The larger pieces remain noticeable after cooking and create both flavour and texture.

Seared Tuna & Seafood

Freshly grind over tuna, scallops, salmon or other seafood just before cooking or serving.

Pepper's aroma works particularly well when the rest of the seasoning is kept simple.

Salads

Finish a green salad, tomato salad or grain bowl with a fresh grind immediately before serving.

Because the pepper is added at the end, more of its aroma remains noticeable.

Creamy Sauces

Grind into:

Peppercorn sauce
Cream sauces
Carbonara-style pasta
Béchamel

The mixture of peppercorns adds another layer of depth to otherwise rich, creamy flavours.

Roasted Vegetables

Finish potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, cauliflower or mushrooms with freshly ground Gourmet Peppercorns after roasting.

Cheese & Charcuterie

Freshly grind over strong cheese, soft cheese or a charcuterie board for an aromatic savoury finish.

Why Grind Peppercorns Fresh?

Once pepper is ground, much more of its surface is exposed to air.

Over time, some of that distinctive pepper aroma begins to fade.

Keeping peppercorns whole until you're ready to use them means the flavour is released right at the moment you're cooking or eating.

That's why a pepper mill can make such a noticeable difference.

For Gourmet Peppercorns in particular, grinding fresh also lets you experience the character of the whole mixed blend rather than a pre-ground uniform powder.

Fine, Medium or Coarse — Which Grind Should You Use?

The grind changes how the pepper behaves.

Fine Grind

Best for:

Sauces
Soups
Eggs
Everyday seasoning

The pepper spreads more evenly through the dish.

Medium Grind

Best for:

Salads
Pasta
Vegetables
Table seasoning

You get noticeable pepper flavour without very large pieces.

Coarse Grind

Best for:

Steak
Roast beef
Grilled meats
Pepper crusts

The larger pieces add both texture and distinct bursts of pepper flavour.

For Gourmet Peppercorns, a medium-to-coarse grind is particularly useful when you want the different peppercorns to remain noticeable.

Gourmet Peppercorns vs Black Peppercorns

Choose Black Peppercorns when you want:

• Classic robust black pepper flavour
• An everyday pepper mill
• Curries, sauces and general cooking
• A familiar pepper profile

Choose Gourmet Peppercorns when you want:

• A more complex mixed pepper flavour
• Multiple peppercorn varieties together
• A premium finishing pepper
• More visual appeal in a clear grinder
• Pepper for steak, seafood, salads and cheese boards

It's not about one being better than the other.

Black Peppercorns are the everyday classic.

Gourmet Peppercorns are the upgrade when you want pepper itself to be part of the feature.

Try It This Way

For a simple restaurant-style steak:

Pat the steak dry.

Season with salt.

Set your pepper mill to a medium-coarse grind and generously grind Gourmet Peppercorns over both sides.

Press the pepper gently into the meat.

Sear in a hot pan or cook on the barbecue until done to your liking.

Rest before slicing.

You don't need a complicated spice rub.

When the pepper itself has enough character, salt, good pepper and proper cooking can be enough.

Make a Gourmet Peppercorn Cream Sauce

After cooking steak or chicken, use the same pan.

Add:

A little butter or finely chopped shallot
Freshly ground Gourmet Peppercorns
Stock
Cream

Simmer gently until the sauce thickens.

Taste before adding more pepper.

Serve over steak, chicken, pork or roasted mushrooms.

The blend gives the sauce more complexity than relying on fine ground pepper alone.

Use Them on a Cheese Board

Pepper may not be the first thing you think of when building a cheese platter.

But a fresh grind can work beautifully with:

Brie
Camembert
Cheddar
Blue cheese
Cured meats

Add:

Crackers
Fruit
Nuts

and leave the pepper grinder beside the board so everyone can add as much as they like.

It's an easy way to make a familiar platter feel more considered.

Beyond Steak

Once you've opened the pack, try Gourmet Peppercorns on:

• Roast beef
• Pork fillet
• Lamb
• Grilled chicken
• Seared tuna
• Salmon
• Scallops
• Eggs
• Avocado
• Pasta
• Carbonara
• Cream sauces
• Salads
• Tomatoes
• Roast potatoes
• Mushrooms
• Cauliflower
• Cheese boards
• Charcuterie
• Fresh bread with olive oil

Gourmet Peppercorns are most useful when you stop treating pepper as something that simply sits next to the salt and start using it as a finishing spice with flavour of its own.

How to Use

For the strongest aroma, keep the peppercorns whole until needed and grind them fresh.

A medium-coarse grind is an excellent starting point for steak, seafood, salads and roasted vegetables.

Use a finer grind when incorporating the pepper into smooth sauces or dishes where you don't want coarse texture.

Storage

Store Gourmet Peppercorns in an airtight container in a cool, dark and dry place.

Keeping them whole and protected from heat and light helps preserve their aroma until you're ready to grind them.
