Oak Smoked Cracked Peppercorns

Oak Smoked Cracked Peppercorns are a labor of love. Coarsely cracked and smoked, these peppercorns define artisanal. The process is quite labor-intensive and takes several hours to complete. They are slow-smoked with aged oak bourbon barrels to achieve just the right amount of smoke. Use these to finish a dish as these peppercorns have a nice bite with a crunchy texture.

You might want to use these peppercorns on everything, but they are particularly delicious with:

• Eggs of all types.
• Steaks and chops.
• Seafood.
• Soup, stew, braises.
• Cheeses, especially mozarella, feta, or cream cheese.
• Flavor macaroni and cheese.
• Try on fresh fruit like pineapple, oranges, or grapefruit.
• Use just a dusting on chocolate (especially chocolate truffles), caramel, or lemon desserts.
