Kampot black, red and white pepper (3x100g)

One vine and three colors of pepper. Which one to start with? How about trying all three, thanks to a set that includes black, white, and the rare red pepper cultivated on plantations in Cambodia. Each package contains 100g of pepper, which is enough to season several hundred portions of food.

The pepper grains are produced by small family farms that approach pepper cultivation with honesty and traditional methods used in this area for centuries. We purchase the pepper from them under the fairest conditions. During export, the grains undergo multiple selections, ensuring that the most authentic taste and scent from Cambodia reaches your table.

Kampot pepper is divided into three basic colors, which differ from each other by the processing of the fruits of the pepper vine.

In the case of black pepper, the grains are harvested when the pepper balls are still green. They are then dried in the intense Cambodian sun, where they acquire their characteristic black color and wrinkled surface.

The red pepper is obtained by harvesting fully ripe pepper grains. These mature into a rich red color and are full of fructose, which gives this type of pepper its unique taste.

White pepper is a specialty, derived from fully matured red pepper grains. These are subsequently dried in direct sunlight and soaked again to remove the red outer layer, leaving behind only the creamy white pepper grain.

Thanks to careful selection that meets the strict quality requirements for pepper exported from Kampot, set by the Kampot Pepper Association, only the best grains are hand-picked. These are then vacuum-packed to preserve their quality and freshness during their journey to Europe, where they are further selected, packaged, and delivered right to your table.

The set consists of the three basic types of Kampot pepper, namely black, red, and white. They differ from each other in their taste and aroma, hardly found in pepper purchased from regular supermarkets.

After grinding, black pepper releases notes of eucalyptus, camphor, and thyme, accompanied by the scent of lime zest. These gradually give way to a maritime aroma with emerging fruity notes. The dominant aroma is that of peach and nectarine, accompanied by the scent of pine and earthy tones of Cambodian mountain soil rich in minerals.

The rare red pepper is an explosion of fruity notes with a milder spiciness. Initially, notes of rose and rosehip dominate, which then transition into dried cherries. After two to three minutes, more characteristic scents for Kampot pepper, such as citrus fruits, dried tangerines, and the earthier crust of sourdough bread, start to develop.

White pepper offers a delicate, yet still peppery caress to the taste buds. Upon grinding, scents of camphor, sage, and cedarwood unfold, accompanied by a subtle aroma of nutmeg flower, grapefruits, and other citrus fruits. After a few minutes in the mouth, you can sense notes of nutmeg, thyme flowers, and lemon balm, underpinned by the aroma of cedar and black tea.

Thanks to their varying taste, scent, and spiciness, different types of pepper suit different purposes.

Black pepper is a universal seasoning that fits almost any dish. However, it's especially ideal paired with dark red meats. It will perfectly elevate every grilled or pan-fried steak, but also finds its place in classic sauces, soups, and pairs excellently with pasta.

Thanks to its fruity character, red pepper is the king of cold cuisine. It's great for vegetable salads, complements risottos and soups, and don't be afraid to experiment with it in sweet desserts or mixed drinks. Instead of pairing with dark meats, combine it with fish or white poultry meat.

White pepper suits lighter meats. It wonderfully enhances the taste of seafood, pairs well with risotto, creamy soups, and its flavor won't get lost even when combined with a good pasta.

The finer you grind Kampot pepper, the more intense the spiciness becomes, whereas larger fragments or whole grains will lend the dish more specific tones of pepper.

The pepper is packaged in 100g resealable pouches. Thanks to the materials used and a special sealing technology, no air or moisture gets to the pepper. This ensures that even after opening, the grains retain the authentic flavor and aroma of Kampot pepper. Moreover, in the spirit of sustainability, you can upcycle the pouches and continue to use them in various other ways. Each package also includes a brochure, introducing you to the story of the world's best pepper and giving you a glimpse into the world of .pepper..field.

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