HISTORY OF KAMPOT PEPPER :

Red Kampot pepper is a variety of pepper originating from the Kampot province in Cambodia.

This region is renowned for the exceptional quality of its pepper, which is considered one of the best in the world.

Kampot pepper has benefited from a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) since 2010, meaning that only peppers grown in this region can legally bear the name "Kampot Pepper".

The origin of Kampot pepper dates back several centuries. The climatic conditions, rich soil, and traditional cultivation methods contribute to the unique flavor of this pepper. Pepper plants are often grown on volcanic soils rich in minerals, and the tropical climate with specific seasonal variations influences the development of the pepper's aromas.

Kampot pepper is renowned for its complex aroma, floral and fruity notes, as well as its pungent and slightly sweet flavor. The reputation of this pepper has led to increasing demand on the international market, and it is often used by chefs in high-end dishes.
