Peugeot began manufacturing steel tools in France in 1810. The company later became known for its pepper mills and salt mills used for seasoning food. Peugeot developed patented grinding mechanisms designed to break spices efficiently while preserving flavour. Adjustable grinding systems allow users to control the coarseness of seasoning. Peugeot mills are widely used in both professional kitchens and home dining tables. The brand also produces coffee grinders, ceramic bakeware, beverage accessories and other culinary tools.
