Black Tellicherry Pepper – Ingo Holland recommends

When fully ripe, red peppercorns are dried and fermented with the pulp, the so-called Tellicherry pepper is created. Due to the fermentation, the fully ripe peppercorns have a nutty taste and a strong spiciness. Tellicherry pepper from red peppercorns is very rare, because its production involves many risks. Due to the longer vegetation period, the risk of a lower harvest increases due to weather influences such as rain or wind, or due to bird damage, as birds love the red, ripe, sweet fruits. Even after harvesting, the effort for fermented pepper is significantly greater, but its magnificent aroma compensates for the effort.
