Peugeot Tahiti 6-Inch Black Pepper Mill and White Salt Mill Set

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 compared to pre-ground alternatives. 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 selecting a pepper, salt, or spice grinder, consider the following factors: Grinding mechanism, design and appearance, and ease of use. Peugeot, a company with a rich history dating back to the 19th century, has established itself as a leader in the industry, known for its innovative and high-quality grinding mechanisms.

Peugeot's story began when the Peugeot brothers converted the family's gristmill into a steel foundry, leading to the production of award-winning hand tools and a diverse range of exceptional quality products, including small appliances, bicycles, and automobiles. In 1840, Peugeot created their burr-style coffee grinder and later adapted the design to accommodate peppercorns in 1874. This iconic pepper grinding mechanism design is still used today in every Peugeot pepper mill and is often copied, but never equaled.

Peugeot offers six unique spice-specific mechanisms, in addition to the original burr-style coffee grinder, each designed to get the most out of the spices they are intended for. The primary difference between Peugeot and other brands is the spice-specific mechanisms, which are meticulously engineered to release the essential oils and flavors of each spice.

The Peugeot Pepper Grinding Mechanism is a two-stage burr-style system, with the helix-shaped grooves and grinding teeth individually cut and case-hardened to make it virtually indestructible. The mechanism is then given a proprietary treatment to provide additional protection against corrosion, ensuring a consistent grind and the release of the pepper's essential oils.

Peugeot's Salt Crushing Mechanism, Spice Mechanism, Chili Pepper Mechanism, Nutmeg Shaving Mechanism, and Wet Salt Mechanism are all designed and constructed with the same attention to detail, using the optimal materials and features for the specific spice or mineral they are intended to handle.

The user-friendly features of Peugeot mills, such as the classic grind adjustment and the ability to accommodate single-handed use on electric models, make them a versatile and indispensable tool in any kitchen. With over 160 years of history and innovation, Peugeot mills and grinders have earned their reputation as the benchmark of the industry and the mill of choice in world-class kitchens.
