Ducros Moulin Poivre Noir

Ducros is a household name in France, synonymous with high-quality herbs, spices, and seasonings. The brand was founded in 1963 by Gilbert Ducros in the Provence region of France, where it initially specialized in aromatic herbs. Over decades, it expanded into a full range of culinary aids, including the iconic pepper mill (Moulin) shown in the image.

The manufacturing process for Ducros products sold in Europe is primarily centered in France, notably at production sites in Carpentras and Monteux in the Vaucluse department. This local production ensures the maintainance of quality standards that have made Ducros a market leader in the French spice sector.

In 2000, Ducros was acquired by McCormick & Company, a global leader in flavor based in the United States. Today, the brand operates as part of McCormick France SAS, a subsidiary of the American multinational. Despite the global ownership, the brand retains its French heritage and continues to be deeply rooted in Provençal culinary culture.
