Kampot Red Peppercorns

Quality
Freshness
Global Flavor

Kampot peppercorns from Cambodia carry a strict regional designation, much like Champagne. This red variety starts out with a subtle, jasmine-like sweetness which opens up to a subtler heat. Right now we are offering the rarer dark-red variety, which has more developed fruity, floral, and citrus, flavors. Each peppercorn is hand-selected at peak ripeness for superior color and flavor. Also available in Black. Visit our blog to learn about what makes Kampot peppercorns so special.

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.)

Wow

I did a taste test with my neighbor of the Kampot Red peppercorns compared to standard black Tellicherry peppercorns. Both grinders were set to a medium grind. Both were sprinkled over a saltine cracker lightly spread with Irish butter. It was like drinking a decent bottle of everyday California red alongside a vintage Bordeaux. The Red Kampot peppercorns had more aroma and a far more nuanced taste than the Tellicherry peppecorns.
