Storage
Store whole peppercorns in an airtight container away from heat and light. Grind fresh for maximum aroma and potency. Best consumed within 18 months of harvest. Pre-ground pepper loses up to 70% of its volatile oils within weeks.
GI Certificate
Kerala Black Pepper holds an official Geographical Indication (GI) tag from the Government of India (2011), certifying its exclusive origin from the Malabar Coast of Kerala.
The Malabar Coast
of Kerala.
For over 3,000 years, the Malabar Coast has been the world's most coveted source of black pepper. Ancient trade routes - the Spice Routes - were built around this single ingredient. Roman emperors paid ransoms in pepper. Vasco da Gama sailed around Africa to find it.
Amā (अमा) works directly with small-holder farmers in Wayanad and Idukki districts. Our sourcing team visits each harvest season to ensure quality, traceability, and fair compensation.

The only pepper I will ever buy
I have been cooking for 20 years and this is genuinely the best black pepper I have ever used. The aroma when you grind it is extraordinary - nothing like the pre-ground powder from supermarkets.
Malabar magic in a jar
Ordered on a whim and now I am completely converted. The heat is clean and complex, not just sharp. My pepper steak has never tasted better.
Exceptional quality
Noticeably superior to anything I have bought before. The whole peppercorns are plump and fragrant. Would love a larger pack size option.
