McCormick Culinary Coarse Grind Black Pepper, 16 oz – Chef-Grade, Bold Woody Flavor

McCormick Culinary Coarse Grind Black Pepper delivers a bold, tongue-tingling edge that elevates a wide range of dishes. The coarse grind preserves more of the pepper’s volatile oils than finer grinds, helping the aroma stay vibrant as you cook. The peppercorns are sun-dried for seven to ten days, yielding a dark, sandy color that signals a robust presence on the plate. Ground to a traditional coarse texture, these peppercorns release a mild kick of heat that complements savory notes without overpowering them. Packaged in a 16-ounce bottle, it is designed for chefs seeking consistency and repeatable results across menus.
