The Skeppshult Beech wood and cast iron pepper mill stands proud at 27cm tall, and  is built to be passed from generation to generation. The cast iron grinder mills your peppercorns with total ease, and the carved beech wood trunk is comfortable to hold in the hand. It’s the Rolls Royce of pepper grinders!

Pair it with the Skeppshult Beech wood and cast iron salt mill, and Skeppshult cork stand for the full set.

Swedish company Skeppshult (pronounced hep-salt) has been making cast iron products by hand since 1906. The process starts with raw iron that is heated to a searing 1,500°C in the furnaces. The molten iron is then cast into special moulds, made from sand which can withstand the extreme temperatures.

Sand moulds can only be used once, and therefore each product is unique – no two items are exactly alike. Each sand mould is recycled and used for another product. Skeppshult seasons their cast iron with rapeseed oil (also called canola oil) from Osterlen to protect it from damage.
