Premium Organic Malabar Black Peppercorns - 8oz (3 Grinder Jars) | High Purity, Freshly Packed | Perfect for Steak, Salad & Gourmet Cooking

This review is about my first foray into better mills and pepper.After comparing Malabar black pepper and Tellicherry black pepper (both from Indus Organics) for a year, the Malabar black pepper won. When the Malabar ran out, it was re-ordered and the Tellicherry made its way to someone who liked its soft taste.Both of the Indus products were better than the pepper that came with the very nice mills that were purchased from Amazon, as well as the plastic pre-loaded mill that I bought at the grocery store. After testing, I found the Indus products were so much better that I ended up tossing the contents that were bundled with the mills, and directed them straight into the trash.The Indus Organics had great flavor and tasted very fresh on both products. As expected, when grinding these at each meal, they tasted fresher than grocery store pre-ground products.The Malabar provides a lot of flavor compared to it mass, and that is what tipped the scales in its favor versus the Tellicherry. The Tellicherry was nice, but the flavor strength was more of a medium flavor. When using Tellicherry, it seemed to require more grinds and coverage to get a nice flavor on the food. The Malabar was easier because after grinding a nice pattern on about a quarter to a third of the food on the plate, the job is complete and there is plenty of nice strong pepper flavor to blend with the food as you like while eating.The chosen mills were the Unicorn Magnum Pepper Mill 6" Black and the Cole and Mason Derwent Precision Gourmet Pepper Mill.The Unicorn Magnum is an amazing little machine produces a lot of ground pepper with very little effort. Just a few hand cranks on the twist top produces a surprisingly large amount of freshly ground pepper. It was found that the desired table grinds generally need to be a bit finer than those for cooking, and the pugnacious Magnum excelled at table grinds - so much so that it was quickly assigned to stay and never allowed to leave the table.The Cole and Mason mill is a beautiful work of art, but less efficient for table grinds. After a few weeks of competing against the Unicorn Magnum at the table, the Cole and Mason was sent to the kitchen to handle the coarser grinds more commonly found in cooking.The Unicorn Magnum also spent some time in the kitchen in the early days and did well there. While writing this review, I asked the chief cook if those early days could be recalled. The cook asked for the Unicorn Magnum back. So I guess I'm buying a second one. The first will stay at the table, and the second will handle kitchen duties. The Cole and Mason will be discharged.Overall the one year experiment was very successful. I found that the Indus Organics Malabar Black Pepper, when ground by the Unicorn Magnum mill, combined to provide an excellent taste with very little effort. The taste was so superior that I can't imagine that I would ever go back to grocery store pre-ground pepper.
