Product Details
The French company Peugeot may be most commonly associated with cars, but they actually made spice mills first, far back in 1874. In the 146 years since, no other salt and pepper mills have stayed as sharp, resisted corrosion as well, and lasted as long, which is why nobody in the culinary industry would hesitate to call them ‘iconic’. The grinding mechanism in this Peugeot Oslo Pepper Mill and Salt Shaker is housed in a graphite-coloured wood body and made from hardened steel, so it can withstand the stress of grinding tougher peppercorns without shedding some of its own metal along with it. The mill's top features an integrated acrylic shaker designed to deliver the perfect dose of salt in a single motion.
This mill comes partially filled with peppercorns and will grind black, white, green, or pink peppercorns (up to 15% in a blend) and coriander seeds.
Why we love it
‘Any fine dining restaurant worth its salt (excuse the pun) has a Peugeot mill. Expertly crafted inside and out, these grinders seem to “wake up” pepper and salt just before it reaches your plate.’

About The Brand
Peugeot
In 1810, brothers Jean Pierre and Jean Frédéric Peugeot converted their ancestral family mill into a steel mill. Rolled steel has been at the heart of Peugeot’s business ever since, and though the company is most often associated with cars, their iconic pepper mills came first.
Peugeot has officially been awarded the prestigious EPV (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant) label in recognition of its excellence. This state-issued accolade rewards French firms for the excellence of their traditional and industrial expertise. Everything from design to technical development is handled in their French factory. With a commitment to sustainability, the wood used for their mills is sourced from PEFC-certified European forests. To protect the environment, post manufacturing wood waste, chips and sawdust, is collected and recycled. Solvent-free lacquers have been chosen for their colour finishes.
