Production Process:
The pepper is grown on Piper nigrum vines and is hand-picked when fully ripe. To achieve its signature color, the peppercorns undergo a process of: 

1. Soaking: Immersion in water (sometimes running streams) for several days to remove the skin.
2. Cleaning: A traditional, sometimes manual process to separate the seeds from the fruit spike.
3. Drying: Sun-drying to achieve a pale, cream-colored, or light beige appearance. 

Muntok white pepper is a staple in high-end culinary applications, offering a cleaner, more refined, and "animalic" aroma compared to black pepper.  

 Muntok white pepper offers a unique taste that is less earthy than black pepper, making it a favorite for specific cuisines and dishes.
