Black Kampot pepper in a tube

The most well-known form of the fruit of the plant Piper nigrum. Green pepper is harvested by hand and dried in the sun for several days. At this time, its black color develops, it differs from red pepper in the ripeness of the berries - red pepper consists only of fully ripe grains, hand-sorted by ball.

Black Kampot pepper excels in the highest intensity but at the same time a very delicate aroma which comes after the initial hotness with tones of eucalyptus and mint in a unique harmony. In addition to its classic form, it is also available as a unique fermented pepper.

How is Kampot Pepper made?

An intensive harvest has been taking place since February for the next three months. The stable team of farm staff is strengthened by day workers who help with the harvest, plant by plant, ear by ear, ball by ball. Only ears of beautifully green pepper are harvested and passed on to the farm. The remaining ears of pepper remain on the plant and wait for their moment during the next round of harvest.

The harvest is processed on the day of collection, so that maximum quality is maintained. The ears of pepper are plucked, then the pepper grains are sorted, washed and further processed. Drying in the sun usually takes 2-3 days, during which the pepper turns black. During this time, the taste and aroma of pepper, the characteristic properties of Kampot pepper, also change.

After drying, the individual grains are sorted by hand and evaluated ball by ball in terms of color, size and grain integrity. Only peppercorns that meet the strict PGI criteria can leave the Kampot region with Kampot pepper. One of the criteria is the size - only grains with a size of at least 4 mm with a beautiful dark black color can continue processing further.

Use of black Kampot pepper:

Excellent for seasoning meat or vegetables, slow cooked dishes and especially steaks and BBQ, including dark sauces and soups.

Each package contains only 100% organic quality of the best Kampot black pepper, hand-processed, sun-dried and still vacuumed on the farm. If you want to keep its quality for as long as possible, store it in glass in a dark place.

Each package has a sealed content that is without contact with the external environment from the moment it dries on the farm to the moment you decide to use it - thus maintaining the maximum possible quality of pepper, its taste and aroma. So you don't have to worry too much about storing closed packages, after opening it is best to store in a dark, dry and cool place in the glass. For the best experience, we recommend freshly ground pepper.
