Details

Cambodia has a storied history of growing fine peppercorns dating back to the 13th century. Traders from Indonesia, Holland, and France have all played major parts in its history. France’s Cambodian colonies and culinary authority popularized this cultivar of peppercorn, especially in the 20th century. French gourmet Auguste Escoffier was quite fond of these particular peppercorns. 

Sadly, Kampot pepper production collapsed under the rule of the Khmer Rouge in the 1970’s. It wasn’t until the past couple decades that pepper farmers returned to their traditions and brought this rare and exceptional spice back on to the global spice market. Kampot pepper is considered the finest peppercorn in the world. Kampot peppercorns are named after their region of production, much in the same way parmesan cheese and champagne are named. They are even the first Cambodian product to receive the French appellation d'origine contrôlée. (Protected geographical indication.)

The Journey: From Farm to Your Kitchen

The Kampot Black Peppercorns owe their distinctive taste to the rich, fertile soil and tropical climate of the Kampot province in Cambodia. These peppercorns are handpicked by local farmers who have perfected the art of harvesting over generations, ensuring that only the best peppercorns reach your kitchen. The berries are sun-dried until they turn black, preserving their full-bodied flavor and pungent aroma. This meticulous process, steeped in tradition and precision, contributes to the superior quality of these peppercorns, setting them apart from their counterparts.

The Spice House proudly sources our Kampot peppercorns from La Plantation—a company making strides in socially and environmentally responsible spice production in Cambodia. Since 2013, La Plantation has fostered economic opportunities, cultural preservation, environmental sustainability, and access to education in rural Cambodia.
