The mill: techniques and secrets

Composed of a number of elements, the system for pepper grinding is produced through a series of delicate and complex procedures.
 
More specifically the mill itself, as a result of hardening and casehardening procedures and the exclusive internal form, guarantees the desired type of grind and the correct amount of pepper. Effectively it operates on a simple "self-centring" mechanism, which avoids blockage of breakage, and enables the grind to be adjusted from coarse to fine.
 
Herbs, chilli pepper, pepper and salt all have specific characteristics which require a different type of mill: the first two need a large steel mill, pepper a smaller version of the same, while salt calls for a nylon or ceramic mill.
