Badia Peppercorn Melange Spice, 16 oz

Badia Peppercorn Melange is the four-color blend — black, white, green, and pink — that defines the French pepper mill and the steakhouse table. Each berry brings its own register: black for heat, white for earth, green for grassiness, pink for floral sweetness. The 16 oz jar runs $1.35 per ounce.

Common Uses

Load a grinder and finish steak au poivre, peppercorn-crusted filet, or grilled lamb chops. Crack onto roast chicken, pork tenderloin, and seared tuna. Crush into beurre blanc, brandy cream pan sauces, and Dijon vinaigrettes. Grind over scrambled eggs, cacio e pepe, and goat cheese toasts. Toss whole into court bouillon, pickling brines, and beef stock.

Cuisine Context

The melange is French in origin and Mediterranean in reach — the default mill at bistros from Lyon to Nice, and the finishing pepper on white-tablecloth proteins worldwide. When a recipe calls for mignonette pepper or quatre-poivres, this is it.

Pro Tip

Set your grinder coarse and pepper proteins after searing, not before. Cracked over hot meat, the green and pink berries release their floral oils; ground in advance, those notes burn off in the pan.
