What it is?
Kampot Black Pepper, also known as the King of Peppers, is highly valued by chefs and food enthusiasts worldwide. It is renowned for its unique peppery flavor and exquisite aroma of flowers, eucalyptus, and mint. This incredible spice enhances the taste of salads, pasta, meat dishes, and even desserts. This exceptional product owes its quality to a perfect blend of warm and humid weather, elevated terrain, quartz-rich soil, and its strategic location between mountains and sea. As result, it has been granted a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status by the World Trade Organization. The peppercorns are grown and harvested manually using organic agricultural practices. They are certified annually by Eco-Cert, Europe's leading organic certification. For the best flavor, it is recommended to choose whole peppercorns and grind them fresh. They retain their flavor indefinitely, while their aroma and heat dissipate quickly after grinding. Whole peppercorns can also be used to add a delightful depth of flavor to brines, stocks, and more.
