Pepper oil

Pepper oil is a type of oil derived from the black pepper plant. This oil is extracted from the dried berries of the pepper plant, known as peppercorns. It is widely used in cooking to add a spicy and aromatic flavour to a variety of dishes.

To make pepper oil, the peppercorns are crushed or ground to release their essential oils. These oils are then extracted using a process that usually involves pressing or distillation. The resulting oil contains the distinct flavour and aroma of black pepper, making it a popular choice in many culinary applications.

Pepper oil is often listed on food labels for its flavour-enhancing properties. It can be found in various products such as marinades, sauces, salad dressings, and seasoning blends. The addition of pepper oil can provide a spicy kick to dishes like stir-fries, soups, and grilled meats, enhancing the overall taste experience.
