Kampot black pepper - doypack 50g

Kampot pepper is cultivated in the Kampot province, located in the southernmost part of Southeast Asian Cambodia. This region, owing to its coastal climate and geological conditions, allows local farmers to produce the world's highest quality pepper. It's no coincidence that this pepper has been granted a protected geographical indication, akin to French Champagne. We purchase the pepper from small family farms under direct trade conditions, ensuring fair remuneration for every grower, and we strive to promote this approach among other traders as well. As a result, when buying from us, you not only get the highest quality pepper but also the assurance of purchasing a sustainable and ethically responsible product, helping to 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 fruit of the pepper vine. Black pepper is harvested when the peppercorns are still green. Subsequently they are dried in the fierce Cambodian sun, where they acquire their characterictic black color and crusty surface. 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 distinct varieties of Kampot pepper differ in taste and aroma, nuances you're unlikely to find in pepper purchased from ordinary supermarkets. Once ground, black pepper releases eucalyptus, camphor, and thyme notes, complemented by a lime peel fragrance. These gradually merge into a seaside aroma with unfolding fruity undertones. The scent of peach and nectarine stands out, accompanied by hints of pine and the earthy tones of mineral-rich Cambodian mountain soil.

The varying taste, aroma, and spiciness of different pepper varieties make them suitable for diverse culinary applications. Black pepper is a universal spice that complements almost any dish. However, it pairs especially well with dark red meat. It elevates any steak, whether grilled or pan-fried, to perfection. Additionally, black pepper finds its place in traditional sauces, soups, and pairs excellently with pasta dishes. The finer you grind Kampot pepper, the more intense its spiciness becomes. In contrast, larger fragments or whole grains will impart more of the pepper's distinct flavors to the dish.

We package the pepper into resealable pouches ranging in volume from 20 to 250 grams. Thanks to the materials used and the special bag sealing technology, air and moisture cannot reach the pepper. This ensures that the grains maintain the authentic taste and aroma of Kampot pepper, even after opening the pouch. Moreover, in the spirit of sustainability, you can upcycle the empty pouches and repurpose them in various ways. Every package also includes a brochure that offers insights into the story of the world's best pepper and introduces you to the world of .pepper..field.

Quality is our top priority, as not only the certifications our pepper holds confirm, but also the awards it garners from global competitions. Among the most prestigious are the two stars awarded to our black, red, and white peppers at the Great Taste 2022 competition, one of the most esteemed gastronomy events worldwide. However, sustainability is equally paramount to us. We don’t just regard it as empty words, as evidenced by the SDG’s awards given to genuinely sustainable and socially responsible projects.
