Pepper Flakes - freeze-dried flakes of fermented Kampot pepper

Kampot pepper is grown in the province of Kampot, located in the southern part of eastern Cambodia. This region, with its coastal climate and geological conditions, allows local farmers to produce the highest quality pepper in the world. This pepper has earned a protected geographical designation, similar to French champagne. We purchase pepper directly from small family farms under direct trade conditions, ensuring fair compensation for every grower. We strive to promote this approach among other traders as well. This means that when you buy from us, you not only get the highest quality pepper but also the assurance that you are purchasing a sustainable and socially responsible product that helps provide medical care and education for its producers' children.

What makes our fermentation technology and subsequent lyophilization of green pepper so unique? How have we managed to transform a peppercorn into a perfectly complex seasoned pepper flake? The fermented Kampot pepper contains fresh green grains processed by an ancient Japanese fermentation method directly in Cambodia. A pinch of fleur de sel, obtained by evaporating sea water in Kampot, is added to the pickled peppercorns. During the subsequent lyophilization, the grains are freeze-dried, which removes moisture and further enhances the already refined taste of the pepper, which we were the first in the world to develop. Crushing this fully seasoned pepper creates fine flakes that are the authentic form of green pepper with the taste of salt and green tea. Thanks to careful selection meeting the strict quality requirements for pepper exported from Kampot, set by the Kampot Pepper Association, only the best grains are always hand-picked. These are then vacuum-packed to preserve quality and freshness during the journey to Europe, where they are further selected, packaged, and delivered right to your table.

Each variety of Kampot pepper has its own unique flavor and aroma, which are rarely found in the pepper you buy in regular supermarkets.

Green fermented pepper offers an incredibly delicate taste of fresh green peppercorns with a subtle grace. The lyophilization process elevates it to the heights of divine bliss with a delicate touch of sea salt. Its soft texture melts on the tongue, gradually unfolding from a backdrop of mild freshness through friendly spiciness to a light acidity and notes of fresh green pepper.

Pepper flakes are crushed after fermentation and freeze-drying. This is appreciated in every kitchen where there is no grinder or mortar. Thanks to two different processing methods, flakes are primarily suitable for adding a finishing touch to dishes, similar to how pyramid sea salt is used.

With this pepper, you can serve all types of meat and enhance your favorite salads and side dishes equally wonderfully.

We package the pepper in resealable pouches ranging from 20 to 100 grams in volume. Thanks to the materials used and the special bag-sealing technology, air and moisture are kept away from the pepper. This ensures that the pepper retains its authentic flavor and aroma even after the pouch has been opened. After emptying the pouches, you can upcycle them as part of sustainability efforts and continue to use them in various other ways. Each package also includes a brochure that explains the story of the world's best pepper and introduces you to the world of .pepper..field.

Quality is our top priority, as confirmed not only by the certifications our pepper holds but also by the awards it has received from global competitions. Among the most significant accolades are the two stars awarded to our black, red, and white pepper at the Great Taste 2022 competition, one of the world's most prestigious gastronomy contests. Sustainability is also crucial for us, and we don't just view it as empty words, as demonstrated by the SDG's (Sustainable Development Goals) awards granted to genuinely sustainable and socially responsible projects.
