Eroski Whole Black Pepper

This product is whole black pepper from the Hacendado/Eroski retail ecosystem, typically distributed in Spain. The EAN barcode (8480010...) confirms its association with the Eroski Group (Grupo Eroski), one of the largest retail cooperatives in Spain.

Eroski has its origins in the Basque Country, founded in 1969 through the merger of several small cooperatives. While the raw peppercorns are likely imported from tropical regions (the primary global producers), the product is processed, packaged, and quality-controlled within Spain. Eroski remains owned by its cooperative members and workers, maintaining a strong regional and national presence in the Spanish market without an external ultimate owner parent company.
