Kampot red pepper - MAXI doypack 100g

Kampot pepper is cultivated in the Kampot province located in the southernmost part of Southeast Asian Cambodia. This region, thanks to its coastal climate and geological conditions, allows local farmers to produce the highest quality pepper in the world. It's no wonder that this pepper has obtained a protected geographical indication, much like French champagne. We purchase the pepper from small family farms under direct trade conditions, ensuring a fair compensation for every grower, and we strive to promote this approach among other traders. Therefore, by purchasing from us, you not only acquire the highest quality pepper but also the assurance that you're buying a sustainable and ethically responsible product that helps ensure medical care and education for its producers' children.

Kampot pepper is divided into three primary colors, differentiated by the processing of the fruit of the pepper vine. Red pepper is obtained from the harvest of fully ripe pepper berries. They mature into a deep red color and are full of fructose, which gives this type of pepper its unique taste. Thanks to a careful selection that meets the strict quality requirements for pepper exported from Kampot, as set by the Kampot Pepper Association, only the finest grains are always handpicked. These are then vacuum sealed to maintain their quality and freshness during the journey to Europe, where they are further selected, packaged, and delivered right to your table.

Kampot pepper is renowned for its distinct taste and aroma, a distinction that often can't be found in the pepper available in regular supermarkets. The rare red Kampot pepper is a burst of fruity notes with a milder spiciness. Initially, it showcases the scents of roses and rosehips, which then transition into dried cherries. After two to three minutes, the more characteristic scents of Kampot pepper begin to unfold, such as citrus fruits, dried mandarins, and the earthier crust of sourdough bread. This complex array of flavors and aromas makes this pepper a truly unique and sought-after ingredient in gastronomy.

Thanks to the diverse taste, scent, and spiciness, different types of pepper suit various purposes. Red Kampot pepper, with its fruity character, is the king of cold cuisine. It's perfect for vegetable salads, pairs well with risotto and soups, and don't hesitate to experiment with it in sweet desserts or mixed drinks. Rather than pairing it with dark meat, combine it with fish or white poultry meat. The finer you grind the Kampot pepper, the more intense its spiciness will be. In contrast, larger fragments or whole grains will impart more of the specific pepper tones to the dish.

We package our pepper in resealable bags ranging from 20 to 100 grams in volume. Thanks to the materials and the remarkable bag sealing technology, the pepper is protected from air and moisture, helping it retain the authentic taste and aroma of Kampot pepper even after opening the pouch. Once the pouches are empty, you can upcycle them as part of sustainability efforts and continue to
use them in various other ways. Each package also includes a brochure that
explains the story of the world's finest pepper and introduces you to the world
of .pepper..field.

Quality is our top priority, as evidenced not only by the certificates our pepper carries but also by the awards it receives from global competitions. Among the most significant is the two-star award given to our black, red, and white pepper at the Great Taste 2022 competition, one of the most prestigious gastronomy competitions in the world. However, sustainability is also crucial to us, which we don't see as mere empty words, as evidenced by the SDG’s award given to genuinely sustainable and socially responsible projects.
