Peugeot

Peugeot is one of the most well-known brands in France

The company's history dates back to the 19th century and has its roots in steel processing. In 1810, the two brothers Jean Pierre and Jean Frédéric Peugeot converted the mill they inherited from their ancestors into a steel foundry. There, they began producing springs and steel strips. This was followed by products such as saw blades, crinolines, high-wheeled bicycles, and coffee grinders. A seemingly curious combination, but even in this early phase, the company was able to distinguish itself through inventiveness, visionary thinking, and engineering skills.

Over time, the brand has focused on areas of the table and culinary culture. Product lines include spice mills, salt and pepper mills, coffee grinders, oven-safe ceramics, and much more. Spice mills from Peugeot are highly valued far beyond the borders of France. From their place of origin in the heart of the Franche-Comté region, the mills are exported internationally to over 80 countries.

Peugeot Salt and Pepper Mills

The first pepper mills from Peugeot were already created in 1874 in the steel foundry of the Peugeot brothers. Since then, new models have been developed and new materials have been added. However, the heart of the mill was and still is the grinding mechanism. Only the technology has been improved, the mechanism refined, and the steel quality optimized.

The non-plus-ultra mills for us at Butch are the models with the patented U'Select grinding system - user-friendly, wear-resistant, and with a 25-year warranty on the grinding mechanism. A special treatment permanently protects the steel used from corrosion and preserves the sharpness of the cutting edges. The pepper corns are not just crushed like in cheap mills, but cleanly sliced and then ground. With this grinding process, the pepper can develop its entire complex aroma and its fine nuances come to the fore. This hidden detail is one of the reasons why Peugeot pepper mills are among the best mills ever and are also at home in the kitchens of many star chefs. And what applies to top gastronomy is just good enough for Butch... Jokes aside - many customers are really amazed when they grind pepper corns with a Peugeot mill for the first time. Depending on the type of pepper, the finest notes can be perceived: freshly ground pepper can smell sweet and floral, spicy and warm, fruity and fresh, smell of citrus fruits or mint. Be surprised...

Peugeot Nutmeg Mills

Nutmeg is a spice that is much less commonly used in our kitchen than salt and pepper. But when it is needed, you shouldn't do without it, otherwise these dishes will lack the typical "certain something". A pinch of nutmeg belongs to many potato and vegetable dishes. The unusual aroma of nutmeg also goes very well with compote and jam. However, whether it's savory food or dessert, with this spice less is more! The intense flavor can quickly become dominant. However, the nutmeg aromas are quickly volatile - so it's best to grate the desired amount of nutmeg fresh when needed.

At Peugeot nutmeg mills, a metal claw presses the "nut" against the grinder, which grinds the spice into fine powder through a sharp double blade. The remaining nutmeg stays in the mill because a magnet seals the transparent storage chamber to preserve the aroma. The patented grinder of the Peugeot nutmeg mill is made of wear-resistant material and protected from corrosion and dulling by a special process. As you can see, there is a lot of intelligent technology in a small space...

Peugeot coffee mills

Freshly ground coffee not only tastes better than pepper, but also tastes best - that's well known. But did you know that the factor "grinding technology" also has a huge impact on taste?

Since 1840, coffee mills have been a core competence of the Peugeot brand. The design of today's manual coffee mill still resembles the original type that we remember from our grandmothers: a square body with a crank on top and a drawer on the bottom. However, the technology hidden inside it is state-of-the-art. The grind of the coffee can be finely adjusted - from coarse to fine powder. This is important because each filtering method requires a different grind. For example, if you prepare coffee with a French press, we recommend a coarse grind. In this brewing method, the coffee powder remains in the water longer. If it were too fine, bitter substances and tannins would be dissolved, which we would like to avoid. In the ceramic filter, on the other hand, coffee that is ground too coarsely would cause the brewing water to pass through too quickly - this coffee would be thin and have little aroma.

No matter what grind you prefer - a Peugeot coffee mill grinds the beans in a gentle way. This is important because grinding is more than just crushing the coffee beans. With cheap electric appliances, coffee is often brutally chopped up. In a high-quality grinder, the cell structure of the coffee bean is broken down. This releases the numerous aroma substances that are later extracted by brewing with water. Coffee has more aromas than wine! Researchers have discovered about 800 different aromas in coffee so far.

Peugeot Appolia Ceramic Tableware

Not only mills for salt, pepper, and coffee belong to the portfolio of the French company Peugeot, but recently ovenproof ceramics have also been added. For this, the established ceramic brand Appolia was brought on board. Appolia - these are high-quality shapes for casseroles, tarts, and quiches, in short, for everything that comes hot out of the oven. This ceramic tableware combines perfect functional properties with a damn good look. Appolia ceramics are exclusively made in France - that's why the products are allowed to bear the "Origine France" quality label.

The ceramic mass used was developed by Appolia itself, and the composition is kept strictly secret. ECOCERAM has a high edge strength due to its special properties. This makes the ceramic shapes suitable for everyday use and robust for frequent use. Another plus point of this material is its high heat storage capacity. Oven dishes stay warm for a long time in the Appolia shapes on the set table. The ceramic tableware is available in various shapes, different sizes, and four chic colors. Practical: You can stack all sizes of a shape in the kitchen cabinet to save space.

Statement Butch: Peugeot understands that it is no longer enough for a brand to rest on its historical laurels. It's nice when a company can look back on a long, successful company history. But that's not enough. At Peugeot, good things are always made a little better. Changed consumer habits, improved materials, modern manufacturing technologies - all these factors find their way into the development of new items for the table and kitchen. Products from Peugeot fascinate us with their perfect function, thoughtful design, and high quality. And it's a real pleasure to use them.
