Peugeot Paris u'Select Pepper Mill, 4.73in, Natural

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. Freshly ground pepper and spices have more aroma and better flavor than 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 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 selecting a pepper, salt, or spice grinder, consider the grinding mechanism, design and appearance, and ease of use. The grinding mechanism should be well-made and produce a consistent grind, ideally designed to handle the specific spice. The mill's design, whether traditional or modern, manual or electric, should be an indispensable tool in your kitchen and a beautiful part of table decor. Ease of use is also crucial; a quality mill should be easy to adjust, fill, and feel comfortable in the hand.

Peugeot's story dates back to the 19th century when the Peugeot brothers converted the family's gristmill into a steel foundry. They began producing award-winning hand tools and went on to create a diverse range of exceptional quality products, including small appliances, bicycles, and automobiles. In 1840, Peugeot created their burr-style coffee grinder and adapted the design to accommodate peppercorns in 1874. This pepper mechanism design is still used today in every Peugeot pepper mill.

Peugeot offers six unique spice-specific mechanisms plus the original burr-style coffee grinder, each designed to get the most out of the intended spices. The Peugeot 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. The Peugeot Salt Crushing Mechanism features two ribbed plates that fracture and crush coarse, dry sea salt to a consistent size.

Peugeot's patented u'Select grind control system allows for quick, easy, and accurate adjustment of the grind settings, from coarsely ground pepper or salt to very fine. The u'Select system offers six pre-defined levels of grind for both pepper and salt, or any point in between, ensuring the right grind for any dish.

Peugeot mills are exceptionally well-crafted, traditionally styled, and available in a wide range of heights and finishes. They are designed for easy care, with a lifetime warranty on the grinding mechanism. Peugeot has been a leading manufacturer of pepper mills since the 1840s and is a brand preferred by many fine restaurants and chefs.

The iconic Peugeot Paris u'Select pepper mill enhances the flavors of the meals you create through its precise and even grinding. The two-stage grinding mechanism first cracks and then grinds the peppercorns to the desired coarseness, bringing out all the aromatic depth of the pepper. The u'Select system allows you to find your perfect balance of flavor through six settings, from extra fine to very coarse. With its crafted beechwood construction and elegant design, the Peugeot Paris u'Select pepper mill is a true instrument of taste.
