Steenbergs Organic Fairtrade black pepper was the first spice in the UK to carry the Fairtrade mark - something we are pretty proud of - and it is organic as well. Over recent years, the plight of spice farmers, especially pepper and chilli growers, has received a quite a lot of publicity. Launching Steenbergs organic Fairtrade pepper was a positive step to changing the way people buy their spices, contributing directly to the social welfare of pepper farmers in the developing world, however there remains much to do to fight for equality throughout the world and to stop exploitation - so do your little bit by buying some organic Fairtrade black peppercorns, then grind them into your cooking with a clearer conscience. 

Ingredients: black peppercorn
