Black Pepper

Peppercorns have been used since antiquity, both for flavour and as a traditional medicine. The fragrance is used in Cove fragrances to provide a spicy edge. Black pepper is the world’s most traded spice, and is one of the most common spices added to cuisines around the world. Its spiciness is due to the chemical compound piperine, which is a different kind of spicy from the capsaicin characteristic of chili peppers.
