Red Kampot Pepper PGI

n/a ·

Red Kampot Pepper PGI is a whole red pepper produced by La Plantation in the Kampot region of southwestern Cambodia. It is made from fully ripe berries of the Piper nigrum plant and carries the Kampot Pepper Protected Geographical Indication (PGI).

The berries ripen in clusters during the dry season, gradually turning from yellow to red. They are harvested by hand, and the ripe red berries are carefully removed from their stems. They are then washed, briefly blanched, and sun-dried for two to three days, with regular turning to ensure even drying.

The pepper has pronounced fruity aromas, mild heat, and a long finish. It offers notes of red fruit, prunes, dates, and honey, with a subtle hint of tobacco. It can be freshly ground over roasted fish, fresh strawberries, or dark chocolate desserts just before serving.
