Description:
Black Pepper essential oil is derived from the dried, unripe berries of the Piper nigrum plant, commonly known as black pepper. The plant is native to India and is widely cultivated for its culinary and medicinal uses.
The essential oil is typically extracted through steam distillation, preserving the oil's aromatic compounds and therapeutic properties. Black Pepper essential oil possesses a warm, spicy, and peppery aroma with a hint of earthiness.
History:
The word pepper is derived from the Latin word piper, which in turn is taken from the Sanskrit word pippali. It has been used since the times of the Ancient Romans and Greeks and even the Turks levied a tax on pepper, while the French, Portuguese and Dutch often went to war in the middle ages to fight for this lucrative trade from the far east.
