Peugeot - Paris Antique Collection 7" Pepper Mill - 30957

Classic grind mechanism. Pepper mill mechanism features 2-stage channeling and grinding process - cracks the peppercorns before they are ground, giving you the freshest taste. The high quality beech wood used in Peugeot mills is grown, harvested, dried, shaped and finished in France.

Peugeot of France created the pepper grinder in 1842. The patented design of the grinding mechanism created by a company engineer for the first Peugeot pepper mills is still in use today, virtually unchanged. Often copied, but never equaled, the mechanism made of case hardened steel is designed to crack the peppercorns before the actual fine grinding process. The grooves on a Peugeot mechanism are individually cut into the metal, and then case hardened, making them virtually indestructible. The same unyielding commitment that goes into every Peugeot pepper mill mechanism is also evident in the stainless steel salt mechanism. Peugeot grinding mechanisms are the choice of food professionals and discerning cooks around the world.
