New Peugeot Esterel Mill: French-Made, French-Inspired

Imbued with the French heritage that defines the Peugeot brand, the new Esterel Mill was inspired by the Esterel Mountains in France, a beautiful forested mountain range on the Mediterranean Coast near Cannes. This 8-inch mill is made in France from PEFC-certified beech wood from sustainably managed French forests.

The look is simple, strong and serious, evocative of a log shape, with the authentic appeal of natural wood. The ribbed body features multiple decorative circular indentations, topped by a matching head with smooth, sanded sides. A round knob made of brushed nickel-plated brass, marked “S” or “P” for salt or pepper, completes the look. Esterel Mills comes in a black matte or natural finish.

Known for its unsurpassed performance, the Peugeot milling mechanism is the strongest on the market.  This steel grinding mechanism first cracks and then grinds, yielding a consistent high-output grind. Peugeot’s mechanisms are spice specific, so each Esterel Mill is optimized for either salt or pepper. Made in France by Peugeot since 1840, the mechanism comes with a lifetime warranty.

Classic adjustment makes it easy to grind to your taste: just turn clockwise for a fine grind, and counterclockwise for a coarser grind.

The new Peugeot Esterel Mill – sold open stock for salt or pepper, in black matte or natural finish – will have a suggested retail price of $50 and be available in Spring 2015.

Peugeot, the world leader in mills since 1840, now offers more than 300 distinctive mill SKUs. For more information, visit Peugeot at www.peugeot-saveurs.com, call 877.777.5914, or visit hall 1.2 G30 at Ambiente in February or booth #S3633 at the 2015 International Home & Housewares Show.
