Did you watch the next episode of the MasterChef Czech Republic show? On Wednesday, November 22, you could see it on Voyo, while on TV Nova only on November 29. The six amateur cooks faced another challenge and also eliminations. What was the theme of this episode? How did the contestants deal with the challenge? Which of  our peppers do the judges and contestants prefer the most? Did it help anyone win? Were their final plates beautiful? And who received an ugly verdict? But it wouldn't be the  MasterChef kitchen if the judges - Radek Kašpárek, Jan Punčochář, and Přemek Forejt - didn't arrange a nicely spicy twist… What do you think the contestants were prepared for? Watch it now on  Voyo , or look forward to it next week, on Wednesday, November 29, on TV Nova at 8:20 PM.  What do this year's contestants and chef and judge Jan Punčochář say about cooking with the world's best pepper? “We like your pepper and it works well for us, especially the lyophilized one!”Jan Punčochář, chef, MasterChef judge “I use your pepper in almost everything, for example, the fermented one is perfect!”Tereza Vyhlídalová, MasterChef 2023 finalist “I love pepper, who doesn't?! I use pepper in almost every dish, my favorite is definitely white pepper; I love it for its delicacy and intensity! I use it a lot in my favorite Asian soups.”Adam Rundus, MasterChef 2023 finalist “Because I care about quality ingredients, I know .pepper..field well and I don't cook at home with anything else, because it has absolutely no competition when it comes to taste and intensity.”Petra Kamencová, MasterChef 2023 finalist

Another year, another amazing .pepper..gin. Again in a limited edition and again in collaboration with Martin Žufánek. If you know us, you know that twice a year we organize Night Shopping – a night full of great prices and gifts with purchase. This year we spiced it up with the premiere of this bottle at our .pepper..party, where we also introduced our pepper cocktails. Try it, give it as a gift in a box made from rescued cardboard, or expand your collection of unique bottles. Martin delivered the first 100 pieces, which he personally signed and gave us for sale. “It’s a concert of flavors, and the first violin in it is played by white Kampot pepper! ” When one of the best Czech distillers and an expert in Italian cuisine come together, the result can only be absolutely perfect. Martin Žufánek and Matteo De Carli have created a perfect gin with a full range of flavors: salty, bitter, sweet, and sour. White Kampot pepper opens the taste buds, allowing you to enjoy: a blend of herbs selected by Italian chef Matteo de Carli. citrus with Fleur de Sel salt flower from Kampot salt pans. homemade honey supplied by Martin from his own garden. TIP from Martin on serving “I am an advocate of the classics. That is why I drink gin pure, unchilled, and in this case with 3 white peppercorns from pepper..field.” But I also like to enhance it with orange peel. If you prefer long drinks, we recommend adding Double Dutch dry tonic and a slice of lemon, and you can also garnish the cocktail with a sprig of rosemary. Why specifically white pepper from Kampot? White pepper has a somewhat tarnished reputation worldwide. Poor processing and peeling from unripe black pepper are unfortunately typical for pepper from large sellers who ship it to our continent improperly dried, which significantly affects its aroma and taste. And that is a great shame because white pepper is something absolutely unique, especially true for Kampot pepper. True white Kampot pepper is actually the heart of red pepper, which is hand-peeled after several days of water soaking. Once it dries in the sun, our farmers carefully sort it. Its characteristic aroma and taste are finally “locked in” in vacuum packaging and sent to us in Europe. You will enjoy notes of kaffir lime, nutmeg blossom, cedarwood, and grapefruit with every opening of the pouch or turning of the grinder. A Christmas gift like a drunk… embroidered. The previous edition of .pepper..gin by Žufánek immediately became a bestseller among last year’s Christmas gifts. Some even had to wait two months for it. But don’t wait until Christmas and order it in time. Newly, we give you the option to buy not only the bottle alone but also a complete gift set. It includes a luxury cardboard box, 20 g of white Kampot pepper, and 100 g of Fleur de Sel salt flower. Then it’s up to you whether you add engraving on the lid and make the gift recipient even happier.

You no longer have to go to a bar – we bring the bar to you! As one of the first in the Czech Republic, we offer luxurious mixed drinks as if you were in one of the best bars in New York. Our RTD cocktails are "ready to drink ", meaning already prepared and premixed for your convenience. In every 350 ml bottle, you will find up to four servings of a strong drink mixed by bartender Marcel Jinoch – so you can enjoy them at home, on a picnic, or give them as a unique gift. All you need is ice, and you can enjoy a toast. Gimlet with white Kampot pepper Who said coriander belongs only in food? Gimlet based on gin, smelling like a Cambodian market. Lots of gin infused with fresh coriander and sweet coconut, all complemented by the taste of Italian organic citrus thanks to Circular lemon from Landcraft. Finished with white Kampot pepper, which very gently complements all Asian flavors. Toast with a drink containing 23.4% alcohol. Manhattan with red Kampot pepper Only quality whiskey, angostura made from herbs and spices, and syrup from red Kampot pepper. A beautiful, strong, classic drink with a long finish and the greatest spiciness. The beautiful finishing touch of the entire Manhattan is Landcraft Turmut – a vermouth aged in cherry barrels, which makes the drink wonderfully fragrant and rich in flavor. Treat yourself to a glass with 25.3% alcohol. Margarita with green Kampot pepper A sophisticated absinthe margarita with green Kampot pepper and Landcraft birch tonic. A type of cocktail unlike anything you have tasted at a bar before. Tequila combined with absinthe forms a strong base, beautifully complemented by sweet agave, the saltiness and heat of fresh green Kampot pepper, and the rough Birch tonic, which hides elderflower and birch sap. Dare to enjoy one with 25.6% alcohol. The inspiration for this refined range of mixed drinks comes from our travels across the USA. But great thanks for their creation go to the most qualified people we sat down with – bartender Marcel Jinoch and the artisan distillery Landcraft. Marcel mixed cocktails for six years in New York at the famous Le Pavillon, known to celebrities like Angelina Jolie, Jeff Bezos, and Taylor Swift, and he is very well known on the Czech bar scene because he brings new trends from NY to us. You already know Ondra, Petr, and Jana from Landcraft – they are responsible for our first limited .pepper..gin. Now they not only took care of the production of the cocktails but also each bottle contains one of their iconic distillates, liqueurs, or vermouths, which they handcraft in their gardens in Tursko.

Doing things differently, well, and exceptionally is not only our motto but also the motto of many honest producers in our surroundings. One of them is Martin Žufánek, the founder of the distillery that bears his name and became famous for producing perfect distillates with a twist. Such a twist is also carried by our freeze-dried green pepper, which inspired us to put our heads together and jointly create a gin that has no equivalent on the Czech or any other market. We have already revealed the main ingredient, namely the freeze-dried green pepper, for which we received a gastronomic Oscar. But there is much more hidden in this gin. For the very first time, Martin Žufánek decided to base the gin on a grape marc spirit in a purely Italian style. To it, he added olives, almonds, basil, lemongrass, and also neroli, the essential oil from the flowers of the bitter orange tree. In short, a little piece of Italian sunshine poured into a clear glass. Whether you will then want to pour the distillate with a dry tonic and enjoy a pleasant summer refreshment, or savor it neat with a few red Kampot peppercorns to distinguish all the flavor nuances of our craft, we leave that to you. Alternatively, you can archive the bottle and remember it in a few years. After all, this is a limited edition, and Mr. Žufánek speaks of the gin as one of the best he has ever made. Perhaps you will have an interesting product in your hands that will have certain investment potential. But who could resist such a treasure hidden in ochre-colored glass with a unique label design by the ARTBUREAU studio? The uniqueness of each bottle is further emphasized by a unique identification number, thanks to which you can also name it. You can call it, for example, my beloved one hundred and eightieth.

Life is too short not to experiment with it. However, when you take the best pepper in the world and combine it with the greatest pasta treasure that Italy has, the result can be nothing other than a perfectly crafted Italian spaghetti concept. At the beginning, however, there was the question of whom to turn to with a request to create perfect spaghetti with a pepper base for us. In the end, we decided on a family business located in the middle of the Alpine massif Alpe della Luna near Tuscany. This is exactly where Pasta di Borgo Pace is based, where pasta preparation has been dedicated to for many generations. Local experts in the field of gastronomy and baking created a recipe for us that relies on several simple ingredients, which are crystal clear Alpine water, sunshine, and the highest quality hard wheat, and of course, the best pepper in the world grown in the Kampot province must not be missing. Processed by traditional methods The secret of the unique taste of the spaghetti lies, similar to our pepper, in the method of processing. The pasta is hung out immediately after production and dried at about 40 degrees Celsius. During this process, they gain their characteristic length and elasticity, which they acquire during 20 hours of drying. This process also defines their structure, which is not smooth like the pasta you are used to from the supermarket. Every Italian will tell you that for the sauce to hold well on the pasta, their structure must be rough and slightly floured. You do not have to fear that the roughness would transfer to the taste; on the contrary, these pastas are perfectly soft. This is also contributed to by the gentle stone grinding of semolina flour, thanks to which the flour contains fine wheat germ that softens the taste of the pasta and also provides a rich protein content. Pasta is ideal to pair with classic tomato or cream sauces, and you can never go wrong with a few shavings of Parmesan. And now there is nothing left but to wish you a good appetite.

Spring is coming, and with it the well-known spring fatigue, which allows us to experience all sensations at only half power. There are several ways to fight spring fatigue. We decided to create a magical elixir that will inject so much energy into you that even spring fatigue will run away from you. It starts and ends with quality ingredients We put our heads together with magicians Petr and Roman from KOJU, who mixed for us a non-alcoholic concentrate of the best ingredients that will drive away all fatigue from your body, strengthen the immune system, and generally boost your zest for life. The basic ingredients of this magical potion are the power of pepper, ginger, and turmeric. We took the original KOJU Ginger shot containing organic Peruvian ginger, organic coconut water, lemon juice, and floral honey, and added a selection of the darkest red peppercorns with their uniquely fruity character. To maximize the effects of the pepper, we also added a pinch of turmeric, which together with the pepper forms an incredible natural team capable of healing a wide range of ailments in the human body. Are you interested in the taste of true dark red pepper? Try it on its own in a zip bag Package, which preserves its fruitiness and freshness for as long as possible. A natural remedy for fatigue and health support .pepper..shot will help you energize your body but also supports its regeneration. It boosts metabolic activity, helps fight inflammation, and strengthens heart function. It also contributes to building stronger immunity, helping you avoid unpleasant illnesses. A higher vitamin C content creates a protective shield around your body that no bacteria will easily penetrate! And the dosage? Enjoy it in the morning before breakfast, you can energize yourself with it during your sports training, or refresh yourself during the day when you feel your batteries need a little juice recharge. The ideal dose is 40 ml daily, which is exactly one small bottle. You can also take the ginger drink with Kampot pepper on its own, mix it into juices and teas, or use it to prepare alcoholic drinks. Try it and see for yourself. There is no better way to "burn the worm" out of your body.

All good things are round. Our planet, a well-fed belly, and also peppercorns. Thanks to our cooperation with the Steiner & Kovarik chocolate factory, our chocolate balls with a small Kampot surprise inside are now also ranked among the best round things. Whenever we invent one of our new products, we try to collaborate with the best professionals available in the Czech Republic. This was also the reason why we approached Silvia Steiner and Petr Kovařídek from the Prague chocolate factory Steiner & Kovarik, whose chocolate is decorated with numerous world awards and whose customers include the Sultan of Oman himself. It is no wonder; their unique Bean-to-Bar chocolate processing concept, where the chocolate factory has full control over the entire production, is a mark of quality at first glance. We decided to complement such exceptional chocolate with the most extraordinary that .pepper..field can offer. The choice immediately fell on our green freeze-dried pepper, for which we were awarded the only gastronomic Oscar in the Czech Republic, the Golden Fork trophy at the worldwide culinary competition Great Taste. How to make real white chocolate and freeze-dried pepper? Thanks to freeze-drying, or drying by freezing, we managed to preserve the freshness and unique fresh taste of the green pepper, complemented by the light saltiness of the brine in which it is preserved before freeze-drying. Together with Steiner & Kovarik, we wrapped this treasure into an unusual white chocolate with added almonds, which gently caresses not only the tongue but also the soul. Did you know that real white chocolate actually contains more chocolate than typical dark chocolate? It only requires the manufacturer to keep the very valuable cocoa butter, which is otherwise sold to the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. But Petr Kovařík does not do that, so our chocobombs are full of the highest quality and healthy cocoa butter. Do you know how "healthy" dragees taste? „ “ The dragee coating plays the absolute leading role in production. Thanks to it, these beautiful, symmetrical, velvety golden balls are created. Inside the chocolate dragee is a whole peppercorn, which gives the delicate treat a proper kick. How intense it will be is entirely up to you and your choice. In every Package, you will find three sizes of balls. While the largest ones are dominated by the taste of chocolate, gently enhanced by pepper tones in the background, the smallest balls deliver a seriously spicy ride that you will enjoy immensely. We packed everything into a luxurious gift box decorated with velvety black and bright gold colors, hinting at how luxurious the item inside is.

We wish you a pleasant, peppery shopping experience!

It feels like it was just yesterday when we decided to create our first limited edition .pepper..gin with mango and Kampot pepper. The bottles with this exotic delicacy quickly sold out, so we decided to repeat our endeavor, but this time to create a work so unique that few can match it on the Czech market. During its creation, we reached out to many of our friends with whom we had previously collaborated. To the experts Ondra and Petr from the Landcraft distillery, we added Michal from the Heršffek Chocolate Factory with his perfect fairtrade cocoa beans and unique Bean-to-Bar chocolate production, as well as the peel from Sicilian organic oranges from Mr. Olšák of ChuťSicílie. We extracted all the essences of these perfect ingredients and blended them into a single whole into a very fine distillate of a new category: nørGin. It is an exotic compilation of unexpected flavor tones that will take you into a completely new world of gin experience. Juniper? Don’t expect it in this case. We truly completely reworked the basics of gin and built them on the unique Kampot green pepper, which makes all the flavor sensations dance and slightly sharpens them. NørGin will load you with a distinctly good mood, and you can return it back to him. Its Package we supplemented with a range of stickers made from recycled materials, which were designed for us by the Butterflies&Hurricanes studio. With their help, you can decorate your bottle of nørGin exactly as you imagine and allow the bottle to proclaim the message of this gin even after there is not a drop left in the bottle. Life is simply too short to drink without the possibility of sticking stickers with a sustainable impact around you. And believe us, thanks to 47% alcohol, they will stick everywhere. ☺

Matteo de Carli and other Michelin-starred chefs fundamentally use pepper grown in Kampot in their kitchens. The reason? Its unique flavor, which can elevate any Michelin dish to the highest level. However, you don't have to be a star-decorated chef to create a dish using Kampot pepper that everyone who tastes it will love. Kampot pepper is nowhere near similar to the peppers bought in supermarkets Its taste is more specific and much more intense, which is also why it deserves a previously unseen place in dishes. To let the flavor of Kampot pepper stand out, it's not necessary to use grams and grams of this precious spice. It is enough to pair it with the right ingredients. A perfect example that the power of pepper can lie in simplicity is the Japanese recipe for preparing edamame pods. Thanks to the pepper, they acquire an incredibly delicious taste in which exotic flavor tones exported from Cambodia are expressed. When using pepper, it is always necessary to remember that, like salt, it intensifies the flavor of ingredients. At the same time, it also changes it. It gives it that slightly earthy and exotic taste, which is the secret known to famous Michelin chefs. It may seem strange, but the taste of pepper is not only suitable for traditional savory dishes Pepper can effectively support the flavor of desserts or mixed drinks as well; you just need to experiment a bit. Believe, however, that crushed peppercorns combined with strawberries will immediately attract the attention of all your guests and seat them comfortably. Don't be afraid to also use the decorative qualities of pepper. Chicken prepared in a hard pepper crust or peppercorns casually lying in fresh pepper sauce are matters that will please not only the taste buds but also the eye of the diner. In short, don't be afraid of pepper, get to know it, play with it, discover completely unknown culinary possibilities with it, and surprise those for whom you most love to cook.

This is not a fairy tale, but thanks to its epic, almost unbelievable story, it could be one. About how the guys from  the Landcraft craft distillery do their job more than well, we all could be convinced last year when our joint .pepper..gin just flew off the shelves. This year, our friendship decided not only to spice it up but to add the intoxicating scent of chocolate and Sicilian oranges. Let Ondra from Landcraft speak, who beautifully wrote down our shared story, the journey that ended with the creation of a new category of circular distillates: nøGin. Or did it just begin? “We found Mr. Olšák... ... he imported organic products from Sicily, ran a gym in Mělník, and probably had orange juice vending machines everywhere. I explained to him what we were about, and he kept frowning: look, don’t take this the wrong way, but I just don’t want to sell you oranges just so you can peel the skins off them. This has to be solved somehow. Let me think it over. The next day he called us again: You know what? I’ve got it. Every Friday and Saturday I make fresh juice at the Holešovice market hall. I throw the peels into bags and then the bags into the trash. When you want them, you can always pick them up on Saturday after noon. And that was it. Although it meant going to the market hall every Saturday, it was manageable on a rotating basis,” and so the peel of Sicilian oranges entered this story first, the only one Landcraft has been using in their distillates since 2019.  “Michal Herůfek shows us his family chocolate factory, a producer of chocolate pralines, a melangeur, and many other wonders. Then we move on to the process of purchasing cocoa beans, their fermentation, and roasting. Here is the roaster. Here the skins are peeled off those beans. We put those into these bags. Wait! Waste? Circular eyes will enlighten us. Michal, would you give us these bags? In the following weeks, we try extracting and distilling cocoa skins. We use Petr’s education in organic chemistry, vacuum, fat separators, and other tricks so that cocoa butter, which the skins are full of, does not get into the final product. In the end, we succeed, and the result is a distillate that smells like freshly poured hot chocolate.” You already know chocolate from the Herufeks well from us in connection with our Kampot pepper. We could imagine this combination also in alcohol, so we said: why not. What is negin? "When Klára and David then come up with the question of whether we are ready for the next .pepper..gin. edition, we try to persuade them that it doesn't have to be gin. Look, today anyone can make gin. Let's try negin. What is negin? Simply something like gin, only you don't put juniper in it," What? Is that possible?  The guys explained to us that yes, it is. That gin is a category of juniper-based distillates, whose taste everyone can imagine. However, there are huge differences among individual gins: in some, there may be so little juniper that it is practically unnoticeable. Their core is formed by other herbs and additives. But the name gin is so significant that they don't omit it.  Our nørGin shows that it doesn't need a category, but it doesn't hide its origin. It is characterized by distillation in ultra-fine alcohol, where all three essences – green Kampot pepper, chocolate, and orange – were extracted separately beforehand. We found out that juniper is not needed at all for this distillate to be complex in taste and aroma. A normal label would be quite boring, we said. So we finished this rebellious work at the Butterflies&Hurricanes art house, where the artists designed the right, distinctive... A label? Not at all. These are fragments of our story. There are 19 of them in total, and only you can choose what form your nørGin will take. They represent the basic values of all of us who stand behind nørGin: circularity, ecology, sustainability, love for the planet, for our work, and for the people around us. And the recommendation from the guys at Landcraft? "Alone? Divine. With tonic? Brilliant." And we just add that the absolutely brilliant tonic is precisely their To_Nic, or the grapefruit soda from Imperial. :-)

We have been happy to show you for a few years now that even design objects can be useful or even sustainable. Now we are coming with another novelty in the form of gift sets and stands made from rescued cardboard here in the Czech Republic, bringing you proof that recyclable material can be a luxurious and design packaging. It just takes a few educated and skillful hands! Yes. Our new gift sets and stands for glass test tubes with Kampot pepper were once really made of cardboard intended for simple processing by pressing. However, fate is not always scientifically straightforward, and so this cardboard was taken in hand by skillful people and sensitively transformed into design pieces with an original and minimalist look that you will want to show off. Sustainability, lightness, and practicality. Fall in love with us! Gentle on forestry The rescued cardboard used for our sets has FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification, which simply guarantees that the products support the most environmentally friendly forestry. This certificate largely prevents illegal logging in forests in our country and throughout Europe. From the very beginning, our packaging has been maximally sustainable and environmentally friendly. The five-layer to seven-layer corrugated cardboard used for the special hardened cardboard can also be recycled up to three times, which helps the basic goal of this idea: to avoid unnecessary waste! The durability of the material resembles solid wood And what if I spill water on my stand? No problem! Our gift Package and accessories made from rescued sustainable cardboard have a special surface treatment, and thanks to it, they are ready to serve you for several years and be one of the most durable materials you have at home. They are not afraid of water. It’s clear that you probably won’t make a boat from them, but a little water on the kitchen counter really won’t destroy them. After all, it is the same material from which Kartoons, for example, create seats and heavy-duty furniture. ☺ Some models are additionally reinforced with other materials, such as MDF boards or wooden strips, which ensure greater durability. Also, our gift boxes and stands are reinforced with beautiful, design oak boards, making them extremely sturdy. A collaboration that warms the heart For cooperation, we choose Czech companies whose products are unique, mindful of the environment, and about which we know that our joint result will be worth it. We immediately fell in love with the minimalism that Kartoons brought to the market and broke into major design houses both here and abroad. We have a weakness for natural materials, as our flagship product, which is Kampot pepper , nature itself gave it to us with the help of farmers. Everything is handmade, everything is maximally gentle and cared for by kind hands that know how to make quality products and design gems. Did you know that... ... the first collection of cardboard products (including furniture) appeared in the world as early as the 1970s? Even decades ago, people knew that cardboard is definitely not ordinary paper. Cardboard has an incredible strength and load-bearing capacity, it is light and easy to work with. Thanks to modern techniques using lasers, real design gems can be created from it, and it can fully utilize its potential to become a perfect accessory in the household.

Kampot pepper is among the best spices in the world. Its taste is so exceptional that the best chefs awarded with Michelin stars cook with it to be able to serve dishes of the highest quality from their kitchens.

Combined with the newly renovated restaurant environment, it is literally a gastronomic experience! Perlová voda court outside Prague cooks with us daily – you will rarely find any pepper other than ours on the grinder here, as chef Ondra really does not skimp on quality! Come here for the weekend and taste from morning till evening. Vínograf at Senovážné still has pastrami on the menu with our pepper from the joint September event. And at our beloved Casa De Carli you will find a monthly specialty perfectly tuned to the last detail – but we won’t reveal the November one yet so as not to spoil all the surprises! Do you want to pepper with us too? For gastronomic establishments of this type, we prepare special offers including bulk advantageous Package, thanks to which the local chefs always have a sufficiently large supply of Kampot pepper and are thus always able to include perfectly balanced dishes with a touch of Cambodian spiciness on their menus. How exceptional the pepper we are talking about is is proven by the fact that our products were awarded the highest recognition by the London Guild of Fine Foods Great Taste – and our pepper even received the gastronomic Oscar in the form of the Golden Fork. It is simply a product unequalled in the world that brings joy and exceptional taste everywhere it is used.

We also fondly remember MIURA restaurant in the Beskydy Mountains, where the renowned chef Michal Goth knows as much about pepper as few others.

As you probably already know, pepper can be cleverly combined with a whole range of interesting ingredients that you would never have dreamed of. You may have already tried adding a pinch of pepper to ice cream or coffee. But how about trying to combine hot pepper with an even sharper gin? Although this combination may seem like a challenge only for the bravest, the opposite is true. Pepper gin will be loved by every fan of exotic flavors. True gin with a touch of exoticism If you have ever tasted gin, you have certainly noticed primarily the taste of its most important ingredient, which is juniper. However, each producer has a different recipe that gives the gin a variety of flavor tones. Our gin with Kampot pepper is a small extract of everything we love about Cambodia. In a special edition that contains only 999 bottles, you will find subtle tones of mango, coriander, complemented by citrus, ginger, ginseng, and lemongrass. Crowning it all is Kampot green pepper, which was used in the production of the gin for the very first time. We ourselves also worked on our first po(ck)gin We prepared this gin for you in collaboration  with the small craft distillery  Landcraft. These guys are incredible experimenters who see every fruit as a liquefiable extract of happiness. With their help, we put together a real unique product that we are incredibly proud of and that will please everyone. Even Cambodians! We really enjoyed the production process ourselves, squeezing fresh mango and tasting countless combinations of herbs and infusions until it was just right. Not only does our gin taste great on its own, but you can also mix an excellent drink from it. The best accompaniments are mango tonic or mango juice. During preparation, add a few berries of our  red Kampot pepper into the glass, pour in a suitable amount of gin, and finally add what is called a brake, meaning one of the above-mentioned non-alcoholic drinks. You will see that our gin will bring you a completely new taste experience that cannot be compared to any other similar drink!

The delicacy of cocoa beans from South America combined with a hint of spicy flavor from Cambodia, this is exactly how the exquisite chocolates we prepare for you in cooperation with the HERUFEK chocolate manufactory can be described. We share not only your passion for perfect tastes but also the philosophy of helping people on the other side of the planet through our work. Fair trade with chocolate-pepper flavor If you browse through our assortment, you will definitely not miss the chocolates with ground peppercorns. We have prepared this delicacy for you together with Jitka and Michal Herůffek, who have been dedicated to making chocolate treats for almost ten years. Despite initial difficulties in finding the right beans, they eventually managed to discover the true cocoa treasure from Belize, Guatemala, and also the Dominican Republic. Just like us, the Herůffeks source cocoa beans directly from local farmers, which they then process in their chocolate manufactory in Čejč, South Moravia. The idea to combine our Kampot pepper with chocolate had been in our minds for a long time, and when we learned about the Herůffeks and their journey, we didn’t hesitate for a second. Red pepper with chocolate is a combination that works perfectly The Herůffeks are among those producers who definitely aren’t afraid of interesting experiments, so it was not difficult at all to agree on mutual cooperation, which resulted in three different types of delicate chocolates. The chocolates are so fantastic on the first tasting that we literally made them in the blink of an eye. Dark chocolate in combination with red Kampot pepper brings with every broken piece a trip into the deep exotic jungle among wild pepper vines and cocoa trees. Milk chocolate with pepper reminds us with its delicacy how sweet life can be. But what kind of life would it be without a little excitement? Therefore, the softness of this chocolate is complemented by red pepper, which unexpectedly enriches the milky pleasure with refined, rich tones of pepper. The grand finale is represented by white chocolate . After placing a piece of white chocolate in your mouth, a small symphony of sweet tones unfolds, complemented by fruity sharp peppery nuances that you definitely won't find in ordinary chocolate. And a little secret - with us, this white chocolate won! Have you tried it yet? Which one is your favorite? :-)

We invited the famous Italian chef Matteo De Carli to a barbecue – we were interested in how the best actually grill. The result surprised us! Simple combinations, a few quality ingredients, and it was ready in minutes. What did we learn from him? Don’t wait and surprise your guests before the grilling  Before we even heated the grill, Matteo made a five-minute salmon carpaccio with lemon, herbs, and  red Kampot pepper – this completely blew us away and satisfied the first hungry guests for a while. A few quality ingredients are enough  Matteo then began placing an unusual combination on the grill – octopus, juicy chicken steak, large pieces of potatoes, vegetables, and garlic – all seasoned only with quality salt and Kampot pepper. Homemade sauce  Forget store-bought sauces and prepare your own in advance – for example from  freeze-dried Kampot pepper – it’s so great that the ladies even tried it with watermelon; it basically goes with everything for dipping! Matteo reduced it with plum brandy, and the resulting taste was more than surprising. Freshness Meat alone is not enough! Make a fresh salad with strawberries as a base, then place veggie and meat options on top according to the guests’ preferences. Because when you grill simply and with fresh ingredients, you only need one thing – the final flavor, which is the figurative golden dot – for example freshly ground pepper on anything you put on the grill. Combination of flavors  Sweet, salty, sour, bitter – combine flavors, don’t separate them! That’s why a vegetable salad with sweet fruit on top works so well, that’s why guests rave about ice cream unexpectedly sprinkled with  fresh red pepper  – any extra flavor in food elevates it to the next level – don’t be afraid to experiment and you’ll be the chef of all barbecues! Buon Appetito!
