Fully loaded cargo ships sailing for months across the sea transport sisal bags, which are often stored in damp and not very clean environments. The contents of these bags are often pepper, which is one of the most traded spices in the world. Pepper on ships gradually becomes musty, moldy, and reaches customers in a state that definitely does not make it a completely delicate spice. And that’s not to mention the long chain of companies and resellers who further pass on and store the pepper under unsuitable conditions. How to get tasty Kampot pepper and avoid this cycle?  In the name of preserving quality The taste of Kampot pepper is determined not only by the location it comes from but also by the way it is further processed. Each Kampot pepper is not of the same quality, which to some extent is also influenced by how it is handled after harvest. We at .pepper..field try to get the pepper to your table as quickly as possible and in absolutely top quality. This is where we fundamentally differ from large pepper farms and other distributors. 1. We immediately vacuum-pack the pepper in Cambodia on our Czech machines, which we provided to small family farmers thanks to the Czech Development Agency. Often, even the president of KPPA himself helps with the vacuum packing. 2. Carefully vacuum-packed 1kg bags of pepper are arranged in cardboard boxes, max 10 pieces per box, so they are not damaged by pressure. 3. We fly it by plane. It is extremely expensive, but unlike the competition, we have the pepper just a few days after harvest, quickly, safely, and most importantly without the risk of contamination by water. 4. Immediately after arrival in the Czech Republic, we put the pepper through a Czech sortex – this is a precise machine with laser optical mechanics that ensures we achieve perfect purity of 100% instead of 98%. We don’t know anyone in the world who is so precise and uses similar machines. 5. Then we immediately pack the pepper into our Czech packaging – honestly, by hand! And then it’s up to you – on each package we educate you to store Kampot pepper in dryness, coolness, darkness, and to close the tube and bag. That way, it will stay wonderfully fresh and delicious for up to 3 years and will taste just as if you had just bought it from one of our families in Cambodia!
