Penja Blanc – white pepper

Kampot pepper:

This pepper, which is one of the best in the world, has been grown in the Cambodian province of Kampot for centuries.

This spicy black pepper grows in the southern part of Kampot Province, which lies between the southern foothills of the Elephant Mountains and the Gulf of Thailand.

Due to this special location - between the mountains and the sea - the pepper plant grows in particularly nutrient-rich soil and can therefore develop its full aroma. The Kampot Noir harvest takes place in the months of April to June.

Muntok pepper:

Originating from the Indonesian island of Bangka, not far from Sumatra, and named after its export port, it contains only about 1% essential oils, has less aroma and a cleaner spiciness than traditional black pepper.

Penja pepper:

Penja Blanc grows on volcanic soil, which is rich in minerals and thus gives the pepper its character. The pepper has a round, intense spicy taste. In addition, the peppers are fully ripe. The taste is robust and powerful with a mineral aroma. It harmonizes with fish and shellfish, poultry, vegetables, orange and pear.

Thekkady pepper:

Originating from the southwestern Indian region of Kerala, in Periyar National Park, ancient pepper varieties that are threatened with extinction are cared for and handpicked by local people as part of a sustainable, organic management system. These ancient varieties have a much higher proportion of essential oils than new hybrid peppers.

Time for pepper:

This pepper from Nepael is considered the Nepalese Szechuan pepper, which is not botanically related to black pepper (Piper nigrum), but to citrus plants.

The Timut pepper plant grows wild as a tree with dense leafy branches, where thorns of up to two centimeters make harvesting difficult, around 2,000 meters. After flowering in spring, red berries are formed, containing shiny black seeds.

Later, in the fall, the ripe berries are harvested by hand. Then, the pickers, almost always women, carefully separate the harvested berries from other plant components, such as stems and leaves, by hand. The berries are then dried, and the small black seed balls fall out of the shell. This is a good thing, because they taste bitter.

Indian mountain pepper:

Indian mountain pepper is hand-picked "single-origin" and the pepper is dried in the sun for a very long time.

This jungle pepper grows in a pepper plantation in the heights of the Western Ghats in southern India. The plantation has been run as a purely organic farm for over 20 years and places great emphasis on rich biodiversity. This farm has one of the highest rainfalls in India.

Sri Lankan pepper:

Sri Lanka is world famous for its excellent spices and spice gardens.

The pepper has very beautiful brown berries with a lot of strength and content. And it has a lovely spiciness that tingles a little and stays in the mouth for a long time. The pepper from Sri Lanka therefore harmonizes very well with beef, soups and sauces, dressings and ragouts.

Real products, honest pictures

With us, craftsmanship, materials and aesthetics are at the heart of everything we do. Our product images are designed to give you an honest and inspiring impression of what you're getting – without unnecessary staging.

The vast majority of product photos in our webshop are therefore taken by us – whether it's a grinder, a magnetic knife holder, a serving board or one of our textiles. The images of our wooden products always show genuine, handmade products that we photograph before they are packed and sent to their new owners.

To give you a better idea of ​​how the products will look in different homes and kitchens, we sometimes insert these original photos into AI-generated rooms or backgrounds. Only the background is artificial – the product itself is never altered or AI-generated. Every grain, edge, color, and detail you see belongs to the physical product we created.

We also occasionally receive photos from satisfied customers who give us permission to use them in the webshop. These photos provide an honest and inspiring insight into how our products look in real homes and environments.

No artificial product renderings. No misleading visual enhancements. Just real craftsmanship, photographed honestly.

Indicative images when choosing a variant

We are constantly expanding our product gallery. As many of our products come in a variety of sizes and variations, we do not yet have images of all of them. The image shown when you select a product primarily illustrates the selected wood type – not necessarily the specific size or design variation.

Every piece of wood is unique

Wood is a living natural material, and our passion is to create unique products with character. The grain patterns and color play will therefore naturally vary from product to product. Please consider our images as guiding inspiration and an indication of the quality we deliver.

If you have any questions, we're happy to help.

Do you have any questions about design, size, wood type or special requests? Do not hesitate to contact us at info@rune-jakobsen.dk so that we can guide you to the right choice before you order.
