Peppercorns are best stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Whole peppercorns will retain their flavor longer than pre-ground pepper. Properly stored, whole peppercorns can last for several years, while ground pepper is best used within a few months for optimal flavor. Avoid storing pepper near the stove or other sources of heat, as this can degrade its quality and aroma.
