Day 1 of the 12 Days of Access: December 1

Launched late 2024, premium Melbourne pepper label Pep is the brainchild of three friends and food lovers who once worked together at VICE. Their single-origin peppercorns, grown in Cambodia’s Memot region, are fragrant and herbaceous with notes of chocolate and citrus – and basically unlike anything you’ve ever bought at the grocery store. Here’s what they’re giving away for the 12 Days of Access: five Pep peppercorn 50g refill boxes; one refillable and reusable glass Pep 50g grinder; 24 cans of The Doc, Pep’s pepper soda collaboration with Mischief Brew; and one bottle of Pepfume, a limited-edition scent created with florist and perfumier Briony Wright from Crushes.
