Kampot black, red and white pepper (3x50g)

One vine and three colors of pepper. Where to start? How about trying all three with a set that includes black, white, and the rare red pepper grown on plantations in Cambodia? Each package contains 50g of pepper, which is sufficient for seasoning several hundred portions of food.

The pepper grains come from small family farms that approach pepper cultivation with honesty and traditional practices that have been used in this region for centuries. We purchase pepper from them under the fairest conditions possible. The grains undergo multiple selections during the export process, ensuring that you receive the most authentic taste and aroma from Cambodia.

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, packed, and delivered right to your table.

The set includes three basic types of Kampot pepper: black, red, and white. These differ in their taste and aroma, which are hard to find in pepper bought from regular supermarkets.

Black pepper, when ground, releases notes of eucalyptus, camphor, and thyme, accompanied by the scent of lime zest. These gradually shift into a coastal aroma with developing fruity tones. The dominant scents are peach and nectarine, accompanied by the aroma of pine and the earthy tones of Cambodian mountain soil rich in minerals.

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

White pepper is a gentle but still peppery caress of your taste buds. After grinding it, scents of camphor, sage, and cedarwood emerge, accompanied by a subtle aroma of nutmeg flower, grapefruit, and other citrus fruits. After a few minutes in your mouth, you may detect notes of nutmeg, thyme flower, and lemon balm, underlined by the aroma of cedar and black tea.

Thanks to their different flavors, aromas, and levels of spiciness, each type of pepper is suitable for different purposes:

Black Pepper: Black pepper is a versatile spice that can be used in a wide range of dishes. It pairs wonderfully with dark red meats, enhancing the flavor of grilled steaks and meaty dishes. It's also a great addition to classic sauces, soups, and pasta dishes.

Red Pepper: Red pepper, with its fruity character, shines in cold dishes. It's excellent in salads, risottos, soups, and can even be experimented with in sweet desserts or mixed drinks. It's better suited for pairing with fish or light poultry rather than dark meats.

White Pepper: White pepper complements light meats, particularly seafood. It pairs well with creamy seafood dishes, risottos, and pasta. Its flavor also works harmoniously with quality pasta.

The intensity of the spiciness can be adjusted by how finely you grind Kampot Pepper. Finer grinds will result in a more intense spiciness, while larger fragments or whole grains will impart more specific pepper notes to the dish.

The pepper is packaged in 100g resealable pouches. Thanks to the materials used and the special sealing technology, air and moisture are kept away from the pepper. This ensures that the pepper retains its authentic flavor and aroma even after opening the pouch. After emptying the pouch, you can upcycle it as part of our sustainability efforts and continue to use it in various ways. Each package also includes a brochure that shares the story of the world's best pepper and introduces you to the world of .pepper..field.

Quality is our top priority, as confirmed not only by the certifications our pepper holds but also by the awards it has received from world-class competitions. Among the most significant are the two stars awarded to black, red, and white pepper at the Great Taste 2022 competition, one of the most prestigious gastronomic competitions in the world. Sustainability is also important to us, and we don't just see it as empty words. This is demonstrated by the SDG's awards given to truly sustainable and socially responsible projects.
