Peugeot Salt Mills & Pepper Mills
Salt and pepper mills from the French brand Peugeot are manufactured in Quingey, France, in the Franche-Comté region. This city has been associated with the history of Peugeot since 1810. The company looks back on a long history, which today is reflected in great experience and high skill. The brand is characterized by the perfect combination of traditional craftsmanship with modern design and innovative technology.
France, known as a country of culinary arts and table culture, offers the best conditions as a business location for products revolving around the theme of cooking. It was therefore probably natural that Peugeot included the development and production of high-quality spice mills in its product portfolio in the late 19th century. Spices like salt and pepper are an indispensable part of the kitchen. Peugeot has recognized that the secret to a unique taste experience lies not only in the quality of the spices themselves but also in the method of preparation. The type of grinding process is crucial for the diverse aromas and full flavor potential of spices like pepper to unfold.
The brand Peugeot offers a very large selection of pepper mills and salt mills in different sizes, designs, colors, and materials such as stainless steel, PEFC-certified wood, and acrylic. Depending on taste and purpose, everyone can find the right mill here. Besides robustness, appearance plays an essential role. This combination of functionality and design makes Peugeot spice mills an indispensable accessory for the table and kitchen. Regardless of the model, all mills from Peugeot are manufactured to the highest quality standards. Peugeot mills deliver the desired grind with professional precision. Each Peugeot salt and pepper mill is equipped with a durable grinding mechanism with grind adjustment, ensuring a perfect grinding result.
The Peugeot Pepper Mill – the Original
It is the icon among pepper mills: The mill from Peugeot. The original type was designed and built in France more than 160 years ago (!). Since then, the principle of the pepper mill has been continuously developed at Peugeot: Modern manufacturing technologies make it possible to continuously refine and improve functionality and technology. New materials and current designs are also added.
The core of every mill is the grinding mechanism. The steel is protected against corrosion by a special treatment. The cutting edges remain sharp for a long time, and the peppercorns are actually sliced rather than crushed – as with cheap mills. The professional two-stage system first cuts the pepper before it is ground. With this method, the intense character of the pepper aroma with all its fine nuances is brought out perfectly.
With the Classic models with a closure screw on the mill head, you can adjust the grind continuously via this screw. The tighter the screw is tightened, the finer the grinding result. With the version featuring the U’Select system, you select your desired grind via the setting at the base of the mill: From I = very fine to IIIII = very coarse. The advantage of this patented system is that even when refilling, your favorite grind setting remains exactly as you set it, or you can switch between different, defined levels.
