Kampot white pepper

Originating from the region of the same name in Cambodia, Kampot pepper is one of the finest peppers in the world. The humid and hot climate near the coast of the Gulf of Thailand, combined with heavy clay soils, creates the ideal conditions for developing the pepper’s exceptional qualities.

Kampot pepper is traditionally grown by hand, without the use of artificial fertilisers or pesticides.

All varieties of Kampot pepper come from the same plant; the colour is determined by the degree of ripeness and the processing method.

Only fully ripe, reddish berries are used to produce white Kampot pepper. After harvesting, the berries are soaked in water for several days to dissolve the outer skin. The white-beige grains are then dried in the sun.
