Flavor

Pros:

• "If you have a recipe that calls for coarse pepper, you can't go wrong with this one. It's fresh and it has a peppery bite to it."

• "This pepper is good but whew! It is peppery!"
• "I have no issues with the coarse strong pepper but everyone else in family think it's too strong for their food."
• "I'm not a fan of the flavor. It tastes a bit fruity, maybe even a bit like black licorice."
• "Unfortunately I bought two of these. Price was right but it doesn't have any pepper taste."
• "This black pepper has absolutely NO flavor, or taste."
• "But as I have been using it, I've been tasting mold. Turns out it was this black pepper."

Packaging

Pros:

• "The package is nice and easy to use."
• "Come in a convenient snap-cover shaker container with holes that are wide enough to avoid getting clogged."

• "Was very pleased at the quality and freshness."
• "Love this large tub of black pepper as I use a lot of it."
• "It has a great taste and I appreciate being able to purchase it in a large 18oz container because my family uses a lot of pepper."
• "I love this Black Pepper. It was a steal and a good value for the money."

Cons:

• "Nothing at all wrong with the pepper. It's the shaker top that needs re-engineering. The holes are way too wide."
• "The pepper is fresh and has a nice taste. HOWEVER, the packaging is awful. Once opened it will NOT re-close."
• "The only negative about this particular container, is that the sprinkle holes are HUGE, so you don't really get a sprinkle...you get a pour."
• "Would have given it 5 stars but the lid isn't the best quality which has the two choices for sprinkling the pepper or measuring by tsp....isn't very tight and doesn't close and open so good."
• "But the holes in the lid are too big and the pepper pour out quickly."
• "The 'shaker' it comes in is not really a 'shaker' though."
• "The pepper is great but the lid would not come off. We couldn’t remove the paper under the lid so we poked a hole in it."

Value

• "For $2.84, this is a great value for the money."
• "With pepper prices rising, this is a great buy! It’s $5 less than any 16oz buy I’ve seen on the shelf."
• "This product is priced very good and the amount of product in the container is very good."
