This gift set is ideal for discovering three different varieties of Cambodian peppers. From savoury to sweet, from winter to summer, these rare peppers are versatile and bring exotic flavours to your favourite recipes, from the simplest to the most complex!

The Mondulkiri region is home to an undiscovered treasure: its pepper, grown in ideal conditions. At high altitudes, where the climate is cooler and more temperate than the rest of the country, Mondulkiri pepper benefits from a unique natural environment. This combination produces a subtle finesse rarely found in other varieties of pepper. Each peppercorn develops complex aromas and delicate flavours.

Sourced from a family-run production in a short supply chain, Mondulkiri pepper offers unmatched freshness and traceability. Each harvest is rigorously selected to ensure an environmentally friendly product, cultivated using sustainable farming practices – a quality choice for both the planet and your palate.

Its unique aromatic profile will surprise and delight fine spice lovers. For those familiar with the famous Kampot pepper, Mondulkiri pepper offers an intriguing alternative. Each pepper variety tells the story of its terroir, with Mondulkiri adding a touch of smoothness, freshness, and refinement to your dishes.

Cambodia is renowned for its uniquely flavoured peppers, carefully cultivated in exceptional terroirs. Two regions stand out: Kampot and Mondolkiri, offering peppers with a wide range of flavours.

Kampot Pepper is Cambodia’s most famous. Known for its exceptional quality, it’s the first pepper in the world to have received Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status. Grown in an ideal climate and mineral-rich soils, Kampot pepper comes in various colours depending on its maturity and production method.

Mondulkiri Pepper, less well-known but equally prestigious, is from the mountainous Mondolkiri region in eastern Cambodia. Its taste is milder with subtle woody notes, adding a fresh twist that differentiates it from Kampot pepper. Appreciated for its delicacy and finesse, it’s perfect for those seeking new flavours.

Long Pepper (Java long pepper), often overlooked, is an ancient and fascinating variety with an elongated shape and complex flavours, offering a unique aromatic alternative to traditional pepper. It’s a rare spice worth discovering to enhance your culinary creations.
