Things I like – Pepper Mill from the Old World

This pepper mill from a family owned company Perfex is perfect.  If you have old French cookbooks, you might have seen images of the pepper mill.  It is small, 4.5 inches, with an opening hatch, where you simply replenish pepper corns.  The mill grinds pepper corns in unique, irregular size grains. The design and production have not changed for decades. The pepper mill feels solid and looks beautiful.

Had I known this pepper mill existed, I could have saved hundreds of dollars and time. It is worth the price.  Be careful.  There are many cheap imitations.  The real deal costs about a hundred dollars.  If original, there should be “PERFEX – Made in France” stamped under the handle.  Once you acquire it, loose all your temptations to adjust anything. Use it and pass it onto your next generation.
