Sourced from Kerala’s pristine Malabar coast, Navann Tellicherry Black Pepper embodies purity, potency, and a legacy of ethical farming. Discover why discerning chefs and health enthusiasts choose Navann for their kitchens.

What Makes Tellicherry Black Pepper Unique?

Tellicherry pepper, grown exclusively in Kerala’s Thalassery (Tellicherry) region, is celebrated for its large berry size (4.75mm+), complex aroma, and robust flavor. Unlike ordinary black pepper, Tellicherry berries are left to ripen longer on the vine, intensifying their essential oils and piperine content.

Key Features:

• Size & Appearance: Plump, deep-black berries with dense wrinkles (a mark of slow sun-drying).

• Aroma: Warm, woody notes with hints of citrus and floral undertones.

• Flavor: Bold, pungent, and richly layered—perfect for gourmet dishes.

Health Benefits: More Than Just Spice

Tellicherry Black Pepper isn’t just a flavor enhancer; it’s a wellness powerhouse:

1. Boosts Digestion: Piperine stimulates enzyme secretion, aiding nutrient absorption.

2. Antioxidant-Rich: Fights free radicals and reduces inflammation.

3. Immunity Shield: High in vitamins C and K, iron, and manganese.

4. Metabolism Firewall: Activates thermogenesis, supporting weight management.

How to Identify Premium Tellicherry Pepper

Avoid counterfeits! Authentic Tellicherry Pepper must have:
✅ Uniform Size: Berries larger than 4.75mm (smaller = lower grade).
✅ Deep Black Hue: No grayish tint (indicates poor drying or aging).
✅ Heavy Weight: Dense berries = high oil/piperine content.
✅ Aromatic Punch: Crush a berry—real Tellicherry releases an intense, spicy fragrance instantly.
🚫 Avoid: Dusty residue, uneven coloring, or weak scent.

The Art of Farming: Terroir & Tradition

Tellicherry Pepper thrives in Kerala’s unique ecosystem:

• Region: Malabar coast (Thalassery, Kannur districts).

• Climate: Tropical, with heavy monsoon rains (200–300 cm/year) and coastal humidity.

• Soil: Laterite clay, rich in iron and organic matter.

• Harvesting: Berries are handpicked at peak ripeness (red-orange), then sun-dried for 7–10 days until black and wrinkled.

Ethical Practices:
Navann partners with local farmers using zero chemicals, natural compost, and shade-grown techniques to protect biodiversity.
