Black Pepper Essential Oil
is

is made from the unripe fruit of the plant, while white pepper for
household use, is made from the same fruit, but the berry is picked when
fully ripe and the outside layer (pericarp) is removed before drying.
The unripe, sun-dried peppercorns (fruit) are used for the extraction
of the oil, using steam distillation which produces a yield of nearly
2%.
