Variety that you can taste

Not all pepper is created equal. The aroma, flavour and sensory profile of pepper varies significantly depending on the region where it is grown. The distinctive characteristics of each region are influenced by local pepper varieties, climate conditions, soil composition, cultivation and processing methods.

Drawing upon our extensive experience, well-established global network and trusted partnerships worldwide, we assist you in identifying the pepper that is optimally suited for your processing needs.

Cleaning grades

We offer a comprehensive range of pepper in various cleaning grades. These range from a coarsely pre-cleaned product, suitable for extraction or grinding, to hand-picked quality for bottling in glass jars.

Cleaning steps are customisable to meet your specific needs. The purity of the final batch of pepper is determined by the following processes and technologies:

  1. Cleaning & Sorting
    Use of magnets, sieves, screening, wind sifting, vibrating screens, laser technology, and spiral cleaning to remove foreign matter and unwanted components.

  2. Optical Processing
    Bright colour through more intensive washing (e.g., for white pepper), careful scaling, and, if desired, hand sorting.

  3. Optimised Drying
    Controlled moisture content to meet local (ASTA standard) and customer-specific requirements.

Microbiological safety – at the highest level

Food safety is our top priority. A key component of this is the reliable exclusion of salmonella and the targeted control of total plate counts (TPC). Today, sterilisation procedures to control TPC levels are integral to any food safety strategy, and we are among the companies leading the way in this field.

In 1996, we pioneered steam sterilisation in Germany, becoming the first traders to offer this innovative technology. Since then, we have continuously developed and refined this process in collaboration with specialised partners at the Port of Hamburg.

The result is a guaranteed TPC of less than 10,000 CFU/g and the reliable elimination of salmonella. For sterilisation processes, we work exclusively with GFSI-certified partner companies – for maximum food safety at the highest level.

Overview of our Standard Processes

  • Germ Reduction by steam in Chamber Process
  • Germ reduction in a continuous process, with integrated targeted cleaning steps


Grinding to Measure – precise, tested and approved

We offer custom grinding services allowing us to supply pepper in ground and crushed form – tailored to match customer requirements.

In providing this service we work exclusively with GFSI certified partners that have been audited by our QM team prior. This commitment allows us to offer our customers the highest possible quality standards.
