The reality of farms with Kampot m of pepper?
Every year we organize a Czech pepper expedition and take our colleagues, customers, and friends to the farms. This year's expedition was once again "shocking". At the end of the day, we asked what surprised them the most about working with Kampot pepper.
Terezka
"You have to wait 4 years for the pepper plant to grow! That's incredible patience. Moreover, since it is organic, it's insanely sensitive."
"Most farms still draw water from irrigation ponds by hand with buckets, walking kilometers, and yet everyone remains positive and smiling."
Aničk
"I came thinking it would be like blueberries, but the pepper is 4 meters tall!"
"Red pepper is terribly tricky! After all, you have to pick it berry by berry because each berry ripens at a different time."
Martina
"This is my second time here. I really like seeing that farms have finally started to expand and plant new plants. When we first arrived, the farms were dying."
Nikola
"I was surprised how little pepper you get from the hard work of one plant in a year! I calculated it, and this field provides the whole family with only about 200 kg of pepper."
Jana
"I was shocked that from just one green pepper berry, all types of Kampot peppers result, and that the taste is just a matter of ripening time. And that therefore, the white pepper is the most demanding of all because you pick it berry by berry last and it still has to be peeled."
