Hello dear Bright Kitchen readers! Today, we are going on a journey through the history of PEUGEOT, a French automaker that began its path over 200 years ago when Pierre's family decided to transform a modest flour mill into a steel foundry, marking the beginning of a story filled with successes and innovation.
The brothers Jean-Pierre II and Jean-Frederic, descendants of Pierre, founded PEUGEOT Freres, a steel casting company that quickly stood out for producing high-quality materials. Among them, the steel was used in the manufacturing of saw blades, watch springs, and lightweight crinoline skirts, which revolutionized 19th-century fashion.
In addition, PEUGEOT became known for manufacturing sewing machines, coffee and pepper grinders, products that still today are synonymous with excellence and quality. The pepper grinders, in particular, made PEUGEOT famous worldwide and are considered essential in the most influential kitchens.
And it is precisely about these salt and pepper mills that we will talk now! PEUGEOT's manual mills, with a lifetime guarantee, have been captivating chefs and culinary enthusiasts for over 180 years. To celebrate this tradition, PEUGEOT Saveurs, the company's gastronomic division, has launched the Bistrorama collection, bringing new and surprising colors to their mills.
The options are varied, ranging from passion red to Candy pink, Pacific blue, and pistachio green. These mills are true works of art, with a wooden structure and a patented steel grinding mechanism that ensures the perfect seasoning for your culinary creations, remaining efficient for decades to come.
The Bistrorama collection has its roots in the Z model, launched in 1874, which was the first pepper mill designed to be used directly at the table, introduced by PEUGEOT. Since then, PEUGEOT has never stopped innovating and reinventing itself, becoming a benchmark for quality and design throughout its 147 years of existence.
With nine different colors available, offering 81 combinations between pairs of salt and pepper mills, this collection is truly stunning. Additionally, the mills feature a metallic grinding adjustment knob, allowing you to control the thickness of the seasoning according to your preference.
Now, you may be wondering where to find these wonderful mills, right? They are available for purchase at leading kitchenware retailers and gourmet stores in Portugal, as well as in our online store.
In summary, the history of PEUGEOT is a journey of success that began in a simple flour mill and transformed into an automaker that conquered the world with its quality and innovative products. The salt and pepper mills, in particular, are symbols of this tradition and continue to delight discerning palates around the globe.
