KAMPOT PEPPER is a thing of culinary legend regarded by chefs and gourmands alike from around the world, as the KING OF PEPPER. Part of the legend rests in the mesmerising RED KAMPOT PEPPER, known for its uniqueness, as it is produced exclusively from late harvests of ripe and overripe berries of the pepper vine (Piper nigrum).
KAMPOT PEPPER PGI
The finest pepper in the world
A RARE DELICACY
RICH MULTI-FACETED AROMAS
Each of the FOUR Kampot Pepper types (the green, the red, the black and the white) are very distinct from one another in their pungency, aroma and taste respectively. Their RICH MULTI-FACETED AND LINGERING AROMAS are unlike any other you have ever experienced before and they will change the way you think about, and use, pepper forever.
ORGANIC AGRICULTURE AND TERROIR
