Kampot black pepper - doypack 20g

Kampot pepper is cultivated in the Kampot province, located in the far south of Southeast Asian Cambodia. This region, due to its coastal climate and geological conditions, allows local farmers to produce the highest quality pepper in the world. It's no coincidence that this pepper has received a protected geographical indication, similar to French champagne. We purchase the pepper from small family farms under direct trade conditions, ensuring a fair reward for each grower, and we strive to promote this approach among other traders as well. By purchasing from us, you not only acquire top-quality pepper but also the assurance that you're buying a sustainable and ethically responsible product, which 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 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, 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.

Different types of Kampot pepper differ in their taste and aroma, nuances that are seldom found in peppers purchased from regular supermarkets. Once ground, black pepper releases notes of eucalyptus, camphor, and thyme, accompanied by the scent of lime peel. These gradually transition into a coastal aroma with evolving fruity tones. Dominant are the aromas of peach and nectarine, which are complemented by the scent of pine and the earthy tones of Cambodian mountain soil rich in minerals.

Due to their varied taste, aroma, and pungency, different types of pepper suit different purposes. Black pepper is a universal spice that fits seamlessly into almost any dish. However, it pairs especially well with dark red meat. It elevates any steak to perfection, whether grilled or pan-fried, but it also has its place in classic sauces, soups, and pairs wonderfully with pasta. The finer you grind Kampot pepper, the more intense its pungency will be, whereas larger fragments or whole grains will impart more specific pepper tones to the dish.

We package the pepper in resealable pouches ranging in size from 20 to 250 grams. Thanks to the materials used and a special sealing technology, neither air nor moisture can penetrate the pouches, ensuring the pepper retains the authentic taste and aroma of Kampot pepper even after the pouch has been opened. Once emptied, in the interest of sustainability, you can upcycle the pouches and continue to use them in a variety of other ways. Included in every package is also a brochure that introduces you to the story of the best pepper in the world and brings you closer to the world of .pepper..field.

Quality is our top priority, as not only the certificates that our pepper holds attest, but also the awards it has garnered from global competitions. Among the most significant are the two stars awarded to our black, red, and white pepper at the Great Taste 2022 competition, one of the most prestigious culinary contests in the world. However, sustainability is also crucial to us, and we don't see it merely as empty words. This commitment is evidenced by the SDG’s award, given to genuinely sustainable and socially responsible projects.
