BLACK PEPPER OIL

Introduction

Black Pepper Oil is a natural essential oil obtained by steam distillation of dried black pepper berries (Piper nigrum). It delivers a fresh, sharp, spicy, and peppery aroma, distinct from black pepper oleoresin. Unlike oleoresin, black pepper oil provides aroma and top notes with very low pungency, making it ideal for flavour, fragrance, and pharmaceutical applications.
