Kampot Red Freeze-Dried Pepper with Salt - EXCLUSIVE Doypack 20g

Kampot pepper is grown in the Kampot province in southern Cambodia, an area whose coastal climate and geological conditions enable local farmers to produce the world’s highest-quality pepper. Recognized with a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), similar to French champagne, Kampot pepper is purchased directly from small family farms under fair trade conditions, ensuring farmers receive fair compensation. By choosing our products, you not only get the finest quality pepper but also support sustainable and ethically responsible practices, helping provide healthcare and education for the farmers’ children.

This freeze-dried red pepper is the second global innovation we’ve developed after the green freeze-dried Kampot pepper. It is made from fully ripe red peppercorns, hand-harvested one by one at the end of the season. These rare sweet red Kampot peppercorns are not traditionally sun-dried but undergo freeze-drying. This process removes moisture while preserving the pepper’s freshness. The addition of Kampot salt keeps the peppercorns fresh during transport. Simply add a drop of oil or water to rehydrate them, restoring their original structure and flavor as if freshly picked from the vine.

The result is a pepper much more intense than traditionally dried varieties, offering three flavors – sweet, spicy, and salty – for the first time.

Carefully selected according to the strict quality standards of the Kampot Pepper Association, only the finest fully ripe red peppercorns are chosen. However, this meticulous handpicking process yields a very limited quantity, and the batch is restricted to just 1600 pouches due to the complexity of freeze-drying. This ensures that you receive only the very best of the best in flavor!

Each variety of Kampot pepper has unique flavors and aromas rarely found in supermarket peppers. The freeze-dried red pepper offers the freshest taste of ripe red peppercorns, which are highly prized in Cambodia. Expect an intense, rich peppery flavor profile, blending fruity freshness with a delicate touch of Kampot sea salt.

Thanks to its distinct flavor, aroma, and spiciness, each type of Kampot pepper is suited for different uses.

The freeze-dried red Kampot pepper, with its three-dimensional flavor profile, enhances almost any dish. Its peppery tones, combined with a hint of sweetness and saltiness, are perfect for seasoning grilled meats, pepper sauces, or oven-roasted dishes.

It pairs well with seafood, grilled vegetables, and side salads. Its unique sweetness and slight saltiness make it an excellent addition to homemade cakes, light fruit desserts, or even holiday gingerbread. Whole peppercorns can also be used creatively for decorating homemade ice cream, summer mocktails, or premium gin cocktails.

We pack the pepper in resealable 20g doypack pouches. Thanks to the materials used and a special sealing technology, the pepper remains protected from air and moisture, preserving its authentic flavor and aroma even after opening. Once emptied, the pouches can be upcycled in numerous ways, contributing to sustainability. Each package includes a booklet sharing the story of the world’s finest pepper and the unique world of .pepper..field.

Quality is our top priority, as proven by the certifications our pepper holds and the awards it consistently wins in global competitions. Among the most prestigious are two stars awarded to black, red, and white Kampot peppers in the Great Taste Awards, one of the world’s most renowned culinary competitions. Sustainability is equally vital to us, demonstrated by the SDG awards recognizing genuinely sustainable and socially responsible projects.
