Store black pepper in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its flavor and potency. Whole peppercorns last longer than ground pepper, as grinding exposes more surface area to air. Avoid storing near heat sources like stoves or ovens, as heat can degrade its quality. For extended freshness, consider refrigerating or freezing peppercorns in a sealed bag or container.
