Peugeot 9-Inch Chocolate Pepper Mill

Freshly grinding pepper, salt, herbs, and spices offers numerous benefits for cooking and seasoning. A quality mill with a specifically designed grinding mechanism can release the aromas and essential oils of the spice. Freshly ground pepper and spices have more aroma and better flavor than pre-ground counterparts. Using a mill also provides control over the coarseness (size) of the grind. A high-quality pepper, salt, or spice mill allows you to choose and adjust the grind according to your taste or needs.

When selecting a pepper, salt, or spice grinder, consider the following: The grinding mechanism should be well-made and produce a consistent grind, ideally designed for the specific spice. The design and appearance, whether traditional or modern, manual or electric, can make the mill an indispensable kitchen tool and a beautiful table accessory. The mill should also be easy to adjust, fill, and comfortable to hold.

Peugeot's story dates back to the 19th century when the Peugeot brothers converted the family's gristmill into a steel foundry. They immediately began producing award-winning hand tools and went on to create a diverse range of exceptional quality products, including small appliances, bicycles, and most notably, automobiles. (The Peugeot car company continues the same commitment to quality and innovation that is a Peugeot hallmark, despite now operating as a separate company.)

In 1840, Peugeot created their burr-style coffee grinder and adapted the design to accommodate peppercorns in 1874. This pepper grinding mechanism design is still used in every Peugeot pepper mill today and is often copied but never equaled. Peugeot now offers six unique spice-specific mechanisms, plus the original burr-style coffee grinder, each designed to get the most out of the intended spice.

Peugeot's patented u'Select grind control system allows you to quickly, easily, and accurately adjust the grind settings on both electric and manual grinders. From coarsely ground pepper or salt to very fine, u'Select offers six pre-defined levels of grind for both, or any point in between, ensuring consistency and the right grind for each dish.

Peugeot mills and grinders remain the benchmark of the industry, with their spice-specific mechanisms and innovative features, and have earned their position as the mill of choice in world-class kitchens.
