Our
Certifications

Kampot Pepper is one of the two peppers in the world with a PGI (Protected Geographical Indication). It owes its particular flavour to its terroir and specific cultivation practices, rather like classified wine.

The Kampot Pepper appellation is governed by a set of specifications and controlled by the KPPA (Kampot Pepper Promotion Association). The Plantation is a member of the association’s Board of Directors and plays an active role in promoting the Kampot Pepper appellation throughout the world, improving the quality of production and providing economic support to small family farms in the region.

The PGI Kampot Pepper was registered in 2010 in Cambodia and in 2016 in the European Community.

The Ecocert label is awarded following a rigorous process that consists of an independent and impartial assessment of the compliance of the cultivation and production techniques with international organic standards.

La Plantation is checked annually by Ecocert teams.

La Plantation’s project is based on social and fair trade values. It was therefore important to have them recognised and validated by an internationally recognised organisation: WFTO (World Fair Trade Organization).

Our aim is to provide high quality products, which, while retaining their organoleptic strength, are also subject to strict hygiene and food safety regulations.

Our quality team guarantees compliance with international standards.

The Collège Culinaire accreditation is a recognition of the quality of La Plantation’s products.
