Peugeot Nancy Pepper Mill, 8.67in, Transparent

There are many benefits to freshly grinding pepper, salt, herbs, and spices for cooking and seasoning. A quality mill with a specifically designed grinding mechanism will release the aromas and essential oils of that spice. Freshly ground pepper and spices have more aroma and better flavor than pre-ground. Another advantage of using freshly ground spices or minerals (salts) is the control a mill provides for determining the coarseness (size) of a grind. A high-quality pepper, salt, or spice mill gives you the ability to choose and change the coarseness according to taste or necessity.

When looking for a pepper, salt, or spice grinder, consider the following: Grinding mechanism - Choose a grinding mechanism that can withstand daily use, one that is well-made and produces a consistent grind. Ideally, the grinding mechanism should be designed to handle a specific spice, as each spice has different physical characteristics that will benefit from different design features. Design and appearance - Whether it's traditional or modern, manual or electric, a mill can be an indispensable tool in your kitchen and a beautiful part of table decor. Ease of Use - A quality mill should be easy to adjust, easy to fill, and feel comfortable in the hand.

Peugeot's story starts in the 19th century when the Peugeot brothers converted the family's gristmill into a steel foundry. They began producing award-winning hand tools immediately after opening and went on to produce a diverse range of exceptional quality products including small appliances, bicycles, and most notably, automobiles. In 1840, Peugeot created their burr-style coffee grinder and adapted that design to accommodate peppercorns in 1874. The resulting pepper mechanism design is still used today in every Peugeot pepper mill. Peugeot's iconic pepper grinding mechanism design is often copied, but never equaled. Today, Peugeot offers six unique spice-specific mechanisms plus the original burr-style coffee grinder.

The primary difference between Peugeot and all other brands are the spice-specific mechanisms. Peugeot has 7 unique spice-specific mechanisms for pepper, salt, herbs and spices, coffee, wet salt, chili peppers, and nutmeg. For each spice, there is one - and only one - Peugeot grinding mechanism, each made of the ideal design and constructed from the best material available for its intended use.

Peugeot mills and grinders remain the benchmark of the industry and have earned their position as the mill of choice in world-class kitchens. The company's commitment to quality and innovation that has been a Peugeot hallmark for over 160 years. Made in France, Peugeot mills are covered by a two-year replacement policy, while the grinding mechanism is covered by a lifetime warranty.

The Nancy pepper and salt mills from Peugeot are formed in a traditional turned styling but with a modern twist - they're made from clear acrylic. As a result, one can quickly view the contents and choose the salt or pepper. The difference between the two mills lies in the grinding mechanism. Peugeot pepper mills use case-hardened-steel grinding heads with two sizes of grooves, while the grinding mechanism in Peugeot salt mills is purposefully constructed with 18/10 stainless-steel, which won't corrode from prolonged contact with the salt.
