Fresh Salted Kampot Pepper PGI

The bunches of pepper are harvested by hand before maturity, during the months of November and December. They are then manually deseeded by our selectors. These young green peppercorns are very fragile and require careful treatment.
The beans are washed and scalded and undergo a complex process of fermentation with Kampot’s Salt, developed exclusively at La Plantation since 2016. This fermentation enhances the flavour, which is close to the fresh green pepper that is consumed locally in Cambodia.

Kampot Pepper is renowned as one of the best peppers in the world. Its unique character has allowed it to be included as a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) product. This recognition is also a guarantee of quality because the producers of Kampot Pepper must comply with the rules of the specifications of the appellation, both on the cultivation and processing of pepper.

The innovation of the Fresh Salted Kampot Pepper, developed by La Plantation, allows the preservation of fresh peppercorns for a period of two years. This is an exceptional opportunity to consume fresh peppercorns that are young, not very spicy and have a long lasting taste.

The crunchiness of the peppercorns and the intense explosion of fresh pepper flavors on the palate make La Plantation’s Fresh Salted Kampot Pepper a unique product, which is unanimously appreciated by those who have had the chance to try it. It is present in the menu of a number of Michelin-starred and bistro chefs.

Addictive from the very first grain, the Kampot alt pepper can be crunched as an aperitif, alone or with roasted peanuts. We advise you not to cook it, just possibly to heat it slightly at the end of cooking or in a sauce, so that it keeps its crunch. It is a perfect accompaniment to meats such as beef or duck and will surprise your guests in a chocolate mousse or on ice cream or fried fruit.
You can also sprinkle a few grains on your preparations, salads or oysters.

The Fresh Salted Kampot Pepper is to be consumed without moderation!
