Peugeot Olivier Roellinger Chocolate Pepper Mill, 5.25 Inch

The benefits of freshly grinding pepper, salt, herbs, and spices for cooking and seasoning are numerous. A quality mill with a specifically designed grinding mechanism will release the aromas and essential oils of the spice, resulting in more aroma and better flavor than pre-ground versions. Another advantage of using freshly ground spices or minerals (salts) is the control a mill provides for determining the coarseness (size) of the grind.

When looking for a pepper, salt, or spice grinder, consider the following: the grinding mechanism, the design and appearance, and the ease of use. Peugeot, a company with a rich history dating back to the 19th century, has become a benchmark in the industry, offering six unique spice-specific mechanisms plus the original burr-style coffee grinder.

Peugeot's iconic pepper grinding mechanism design is often copied but never equaled. Each of their spice-specific mechanisms is designed to get the most out of the intended spices, with no shortcuts. After more than 160 years, Peugeot mills and grinders remain the industry standard and are the mill of choice in world-class kitchens.

The primary difference between Peugeot and other brands is the spice-specific mechanisms. Peugeot has seven unique mechanisms for pepper, salt, herbs and spices, coffee, wet salt, chili peppers, and nutmeg. Each mechanism is made of the ideal design and constructed from the best material for its intended use, and all are made in France with a lifetime limited warranty.

Peugeot's Pepper Grinding Mechanism is a two-stage burr-style system that cracks and then grinds the peppercorns to a consistent size, releasing the pepper's essential oils for more flavor and aroma. The Salt Crushing Mechanism features two ribbed plates that work to fracture and crush coarse, dry sea salt. The Spice Mechanism, made of ceramic, is specially designed to grind dried spices and flat leafy herbs, effectively releasing their essential oils.

The Chili Pepper Mechanism, made of case-hardened steel, features a pre-cutting system and dual chamber reservoir for use with dry, hot chilis. The Nutmeg Shaving Mechanism, made of treated stainless steel, offers superior edge retention and a double stainless steel grater blade to finely shave whole nutmeg nuts. The Wet Salt mechanism, made of ceramic, is specially designed for damp sea salts, ensuring they do not stick together.

The Coffee Grinding Mechanism, the foundation of Peugeot's grinding legacy, efficiently cracks and grinds coffee beans to the desired consistency. For best results, hold the mill and turn the top in a clockwise direction only.

Peugeot mills and grinders, available in both manual and electric models, provide unparalleled performance and control over the grinding process, making them the preferred choice for discerning chefs and home cooks alike.
