Kampot pepper dark red - gastro packing 500g

Kampot pepper is grown in Kampot province located in the very south of East Asian Cambodia. This is an area that, thanks to its maritime climate and geological conditions, allows local farmers to produce the highest quality pepper in the world. It is not for nothing that this pepper received a protected geographical indication, similar to French champagne. We buy pepper from small family farms under direct trade conditions, which guarantee a fair reward for each grower, and we try to promote this approach among other traders as well. Thanks to this, by buying from us you will not only get the highest quality pepper, but also the certainty that you are buying a sustainable and morally responsible product that will help its producers provide medical care and education for their children.

Kampot pepper is divided into three basic colors, which differ from each other due to the processing of the fruits of the pepper vines.

Dark red pepper can literally be called a berry selection. These are strictly selected red grains achieving the highest color saturation of their skin. This reveals the really high fructose content and the unique taste profile of these grains, which you will fall in love with.

Thanks to careful selection in accordance with the strict quality requirements for pepper exported from Kampot, set by the Kampot Pepper Association, only the best grains are always selected by hand. These are then vacuum-sealed to maintain quality and freshness during the journey to the Czech Republic, where they are further selected, packed and delivered to your table.

Individual types of Kampot pepper differ from each other in their taste and aroma, which you can hardly find in pepper bought in ordinary supermarkets.

In the mouth, the rare dark red Kampot pepper unleashes an explosion of fruity notes accompanied by a milder burning sensation. Dark red peppercorns initially release aromatic notes of blood orange, cranberry and elderberry, underpinned by characteristic notes of cedar and honeydew with a subtle hint of tobacco leaves. After a while, the heart of dark red pepper begins to show, reminiscent of yeast dough, new spices along with roasted malt. It is a very dense aroma that gradually transitions to Assam black tea, and in the end, cedar notes again appear in it.

Due to the different taste, smell and pungency, individual types of pepper are suitable for different purposes.

The high fructose content, which gives red pepper an intense fruit taste, can be experimented with when mixing drinks or preparing sweet desserts. Give it space during Christmas baking, perfectly underline the taste of fish or poultry with it. And surprise your guests with its refined taste and aroma.

The finer you grind the Kampot pepper, the more intense the pungency will be, on the contrary, larger fragments or whole grains will give the dish more specific notes of pepper.

We pack the pepper in resealable bags. Thanks to the materials used and the special technology of closing the bags, air and moisture do not reach the pepper. Thanks to this, the grains retain the authentic taste and aroma of Kampot pepper even after opening the bag. In addition, after emptying, you can upcycle the bags as part of sustainability and continue to use them in a number of other ways. Each package also includes a booklet that brings you the story of the best pepper in the world and brings you closer to the world of .pepper..field.

Quality is our number one priority, as confirmed not only by the certificates that our pepper carries, but also by the awards that it receives from world competitions. Among the most significant are the two stars awarded to black, red and white pepper as part of the Great Taste 2022 competition, one of the most prestigious competitions in the world of gastronomy. However, sustainability is also important to us, which we do not see as just empty words, as evidenced by the SDG's award given to truly sustainable and socially responsible projects.
