Review: BBQ Focused Review and Comparison - Freshness and Taste - I've purchased the San Antonio before and have been pleased but they didn't have the 16oz on desertcart, so I decided to 3 small sizes and compare smaller sized Lane's and Monterrey Bay to see if I was still buying the best. I'm using these products on BBQ, primarily beef brisket. Brisket is a long smoke, so I don't mind a fresh flavor to my pepper (ie. strong flavor) because it mellows over the long cook. When I compare these 3, the San Antonio was the freshest and tastiest, then Monterrey, then Lane's. The SA and MB were so close though I could hardly tell the difference and maybe some bias crept in. I think both are fine. The Lane's was also close but I could distinctly taste some staleness. The pepper is still very good, just not as fresh. Now on to the #16 Mesh debate. In my experiment, all 3 are actually #16 Mesh sized pepper. I setup a comparison to a "control pepper" that I knew for sure was #16 mesh. It might not be completely clear on the picture but all looked to be the same size. I have all kinds of pepper sizes in my pantry and these 3 are what they claim to be. IDK what the other reviewers are comparing to but I think they are just guessing. One more note on Lane's - I had the same experience as a lot of other reviewers when it comes to the freshness seal at the lid of this product not being affixed properly. The seal is printed with "sealed for freshness" but mine came off with the cap (if you look closely at the picture, you'll see how it came off). If you worry about safety, then do not purchase. I can look past it for that reason, HOWEVER, it speaks to Lane's packing quality and maybe the freshness of the product? The other 2 products are sealed airtight in plastic bags. ## Features - PREMIUM QUALITY: Piper nigrum black pepper sourced from Indonesia and milled to a clean 16 mesh table grind, Kosher (STAR-K) and SQF certified, single-ingredient with no additions - BOLD AROMATIC HEAT: Pungent, woody fragrance with moderate warmth and a clean bite that brings instant character to savory cooking - CULINARY USE: Season vegetables, meats, sauces, soups, eggs, cheese, and even some fruits; the medium coarse grind is sized for shaker jars, dry rubs, marinades, and brines - KITCHEN STAPLE: Black pepper has been valued across global cuisines for centuries and is one of the most widely used spices in professional kitchens worldwide - STORAGE: Keep sealed in a cool, dark cabinet away from heat and humidity to preserve aroma and bite ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00QAZYO56 | | Best Sellers Rank | #24,905 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #51 in Peppercorns | | Brand | MONTEREY BAY HERB CO | | Brand Name | MONTEREY BAY HERB CO | | Coin Variety 1 | Bay | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 774 Reviews | | Item Package Weight | 0.42 kg | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Size | 16 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Kosher | | UPC | 850046908125 | | Unit Count | 16 Ounce | | Variety | Bay | ## Product Details - **Brand:** MONTEREY BAY HERB CO - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Specialty:** Kosher - **Unit Count:** 16 Ounce - **Variety:** Bay ## Images ![Learn More --> - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81oVUj5ZIML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Quality Black Peppercorns for Smoking and Grilling *by K***L on July 19, 2025* I purchased the Monterey Bay Herb Co.

Vacuum packing retains the essence of the pepper. ## Frequently Bought Together - Monterey Bay Herb Co.
