Sri Lanka Noir – black pepper

Kampot pepper:

This pepper, which is one of the best in the world, has been cultivated 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:

Originates from the Indonesian island of Bangka, not far from Sumatra, and is named after its port of export. 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, intensely 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:

Originates from the southwestern Indian region of Kerala. In Periyar National Park, ancient varieties of pepper that are threatened with extinction are nurtured and hand-picked by local people as part of a sustainable, ecological management system. These old varieties have a much higher proportion of essential oils than new hybrid peppers.

Timut pepper:

This pepper from Nepal 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 that contain shiny black seeds.

Later, in autumn, 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. That's 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 pure organic farm for over 20 years and places great emphasis on rich biodiversity. This farm has one of the highest rainfall in India.

Sri Lanka 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 substance. And it has a nice spiciness that tingles a little and lingers 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 Images

For us, craftsmanship, materials and aesthetics take centre stage. Our product photos should 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 mill, a knife holder, a serving board or one of our textiles. The images of our wooden products always show real, handcrafted pieces, photographed before they are packed and shipped to their new owners.

To help you imagine how the products look in different homes and kitchens, we sometimes place these original photographs into AI-generated interiors or backgrounds. Only the background is artificial – the product itself is never altered or AI-generated. Every grain, edge, colour and detail you see belongs to the physical piece we made.

From time to time, we also receive photos from happy customers who kindly allow us to use them in the webshop. These images offer an honest and inspiring glimpse of how our products look in real homes and surroundings.

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

Reference images when choosing a variant

We are constantly expanding our product gallery. As many of our products come in a wide range of sizes and variants, we don't yet have photos of them all. The image shown for your selection therefore primarily illustrates the chosen 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 creating unique products with character. Grain patterns and colour tones will therefore naturally vary from piece to piece. Please consider our images as guiding inspiration and an indication of the quality we deliver.

In doubt? We're happy to help.

Questions about design, size, wood type or special requests? Don't hesitate to contact us at info@rune-jakobsen.dk so we can guide you to the right choice before you order.
