Botanical Origin

Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is a flowering vine that produces small fruits known as peppercorns.

These fruits are harvested and dried to produce the spice commonly used in cooking. The peppercorns contain aromatic compounds responsible for their sharp and pungent scent.

This oil is distilled from locally grown Philippine black pepper, which is known for a stronger and more pronounced peppery character.

Extraction

This oil is obtained through distillation of dried peppercorns.

During distillation, heat releases volatile aromatic compounds present in the fruit. These vapors condense after cooling to form essential oil.

Spice-derived oils such as black pepper tend to produce warm, dry aromatic profiles.

Composition

Black pepper essential oil contains naturally occurring aromatic compounds including:

• β-caryophyllene
• limonene
• sabinene
• α-pinene

These compounds contribute to the oil’s dry, spicy aroma and sharp top notes.

Natural variation in composition may occur depending on pepper variety, origin, and distillation conditions.
