Know before you buy
The Berard pepper mill features a manual stainless steel mechanism designed for a consistent grind. While it provides a reliable output for standard table use, it is optimized for a classic, uniform grind rather than a wide range of texture adjustments.
To preserve the wood, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and dry it immediately. Avoid submerging the mill in water or placing it in the dishwasher, and occasionally apply a food-safe mineral oil to keep the olive wood grain hydrated and vibrant.
The stainless steel accents are integrated primarily for aesthetic appeal and durability. They add a slight, pleasant weight to the base, which helps the mill feel stable and balanced in your hand during use.
This mill is specifically engineered for peppercorns. Using it for other spices, especially those with high moisture content or different hardness levels, may damage the stainless steel grinding mechanism or clog the internal components.
Yes, because each mill is crafted from natural olive wood, the grain pattern and color intensity will be unique to your specific piece. This natural variation is a hallmark of the material and ensures that no two mills are exactly alike.
