Appreciated worldwide

Kampot pepper is one of the most sought-after spices in the world. The pepper grown in the Kampot region of Cambodia has been awarded the prestigious Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status, which certifies its authenticity. This is the same certificate that protects regional products such as cheese, cognac and champagne. Chefs and food enthusiasts appreciate Kampot pepper for its delicate flavour, with floral, fruity and spicy undertones that bring out the flavours of different dishes. This rare pepper has many fans around the world and is often referred to as ``Cambodia's gold´´ because of its distinctive flavour and sophisticated production methods.

Complex flavour and multi-layered aroma

Kampot pepper has an extraordinary combination of floral, fruity and spicy notes, giving it a multi-layered flavour that sets it apart from other kinds of pepper. Ground Kampot pepper gives off a deep, aromatic aroma with notes of eucalyptus, jasmine and citrus, while the mild spiciness remains pleasant. This complex flavour makes this pepper a favourite among gourmets and home chefs alike, as it is used to flavour dishes ranging from meat to vegetables and even desserts. Kampot pepper comes in a variety of black, red and white, each with its own unique flavour profile, from the warming spiciness of black pepper to the slightly sweet, fruity notes of red pepper.

The best place in the world to grow pepper

Cambodia's Kampot province offers ideal conditions for growing high-quality pepper thanks to its unique combination of mineral-rich soil, warm climate and gentle foothills. The well-drained soil of the region, naturally irrigated by nearby rivers, provides essential nutrients that enhance the pepper's flavour. In addition, the climate in Kampot, with its balance of sun, rain and humidity, creates optimum growing conditions, giving the pepper its multi-layered aroma and unparalleled taste.

Organic cultivation - strict standards for production and cultivation control

Kampot pepper is grown according to strict production standards to ensure quality and authenticity, reflecting the centuries-old agricultural traditions of the region. From planting to harvesting, farmers strictly control each peppercorn to ensure that it meets high standards of taste and aroma. The pepper is grown organically, without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilisers, thus preserving the natural characteristics of the pepper and preserving the local environment. This careful and practical approach not only protects the unique environment (terroir) of the Kampot region, but also produces a pure and aromatic product.

Kampot pepper farmers are enrolled in the Kampot Pepper Promotion Association (KPPA), which strictly controls the entire pepper growing and preparation process. Only members of this association can use its logo KAMPOT PEPPER.

The Pepper Queen Kampot pepper plantation is also a member of the KPPA and has a registration number ID: P5-001-022

Centuries of heritage

Kampot pepper has a rich heritage dating back centuries to ancient Cambodia, where it was cultivated and valued by royal courts and spice merchants. The traditional farming methods passed down through the generations and used today have changed little, which is why the experience of local farmers and their deep connection to the land is so important. By the beginning of the 20th century, before the despotic rule of Pol Pot, Kampot pepper had already gained international recognition and had become a favourite spice with French chefs and food enthusiasts around the world.

This long-running culinary heritage has endured, and Kampot pepper is once again appreciated around the world for its authenticity, its quality and the history that imbues each peppercorn.
