White peppercorn is made from fully ripe pepper berries. They are soaked in water for about 10 days, leading to fermentation. Then their skins are removed, which also removes some of the hot piperine compound, as well as volatile oils and compounds that give black pepper its aroma. As a result, white pepper has a different flavor and heat component than black pepper. The process used and handling of white pepper can introduce different flavor notes as well.

White peppercorn is used widely in different Asian cuisines, notably in Chinese and Vietnamese food. It’s traditionally used to flavor hot and sour soup and in preparations for shrimp. It’s also used in many European dishes, particularly Scandinavian classics like Swedish meatballs.
