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).
