Crafted in Italy with naturally beautiful, FSC-certified olivewood, our pepper mill is made for lasting quality. The grinding mechanism is made of hardened steel with a zinc coating to prevent oxidation, and a double row of rotor-arranged teeth holds and guides the peppercorns for a perfect grind. In addition to being beautiful and practical, this pepper mill was crafted with sustainability in mind. Forest Stewardship Council forests are managed with consideration for people, wildlife and the environment, so the use of FSC-certified wood supports the protection of our worldwide forest resources.
