Kampot red pepper - MAXI doypack 250g

Kampot pepper is cultivated in the Kampot province, located in the southernmost part of East Asian Cambodia. This region, with its coastal climate and unique geological conditions, allows local farmers to produce the world's highest quality pepper. It's no wonder this pepper has earned a protected geographical indication, similar to 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 as well. Therefore, when you purchase from us, you not only get the highest quality pepper but also the assurance that you're buying a sustainable and ethically responsible product that helps provide its producers with medical care and education for their children.

Kampot pepper is divided into three primary colors, differentiated by the processing of the fruits 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 quality and freshness during the journey to Europe, where they are further selected, packaged, and delivered right to your table.

The various types of Kampot pepper differ in taste and aroma, nuances you'll hardly find in pepper purchased from typical supermarkets. The rare red Kampot pepper is an explosion of fruity notes with a milder spiciness. Initially, tones of rose and rosehip fruit dominate, which then transition into dried cherries. After two to three minutes, more characteristic Kampot pepper fragrances begin to unfold, such as citrus fruits, dried mandarins, and the earthier crust of sourdough bread.

Thanks to their distinct taste, scent, and spiciness, different types of pepper are suited for different culinary purposes. The red pepper, with its fruity character, is the king of cold cuisine. It's a perfect fit for vegetable salads, pairs well with risottos and soups, and don't hesitate to experiment with it in sweet desserts or mixed drinks. Rather than pairing it with dark meats, it complements fish or white poultry meats well. The finer you grind the Kampot pepper, the more intense the spiciness becomes, while larger fragments or whole grains will give the dish more specific tones of the pepper.

We pack our pepper in resealable pouches with volumes ranging from 20 to 100 grams. Thanks to the materials used and the special bag sealing technology, the pepper remains untouched by air and moisture. This ensures that even after opening the pouch, the pepper grains retain the authentic taste and aroma of Kampot pepper. Furthermore, once the pouches are empty, they can be upcycled as part of our commitment to sustainability, allowing you to use them in a variety of other ways. Every package also includes a brochure that explains the story of the world's best pepper and offers a closer look into the world of .pepper..field.

Quality is our top priority, as evidenced not only by the certificates our pepper holds but also by the awards it receives from global competitions. Among the most significant is the two stars awarded to our black, red, and white peppers in the Great Taste 2022 competition, one of the most prestigious gastronomy contests in the world. However, sustainability is equally important to us, and it's not just empty words. This commitment is demonstrated by our SDG's awards, which are given to genuinely sustainable and socially responsible projects.
