Organic and Fair Trade Kampot Black Peppercorns are traditionally grown and hand-harvested. For decades the peppercorns grown in the Kampot region of Cambodia were revered as the finest in the world. European traders brought the pepper to chefs across the continent and they loved its robust, full flavor and complex scent. In 1975 the Khmer Rouge took over the country and the pepper farms in Kampot almost completely vanished as production came to a halt over the next 5 years of terror and then years of civil war. After the 1998 elections, everything needed to be rebuilt. Slowly, Kampot Pepper production has increased. Kampot Pepper is organically grown and the region has been awarded with a Geographical Indications Certificate (GI). This certification is similar to one given to Champagne or Roquefort cheese, authentic only when produced in their specific region. The unique flavor of the pepper is due to the rich soil of Kampot and its location between the mountains and the sea. The pepper is fresh and bright, with undertones of cocoa and an even not-too-spicy flavor.

For best flavor and potency when not using, keep tightly closed in a cool, dark cupboard away from direct heat or sunlight.

While we love pepper on just about everything, these peppercorns are particularly delicious with:

  • Eggs of all types.
  • Steaks and chops.
  • Seafood.
  • Bread and unsalted butter or bread and extra virgin olive oil.
  • Season a sauce of scallions, cilantro, green chile, garlic, olive oil, sea salt.
  • Fresh cheeses such as mozarella, feta, or cream cheese.
  • Try on fresh fruit like pineapple, mango, peaches, oranges, or grapefruit.
  • Use just a dusting on chocolate (especially chocolate truffles), caramel, or citrus desserts.
  • With a Bloody Mary.

Exceptional black pepper from and exceptional vendor

Now that I have tried Salt Trader’s Kampot pepper, I can’t go back! This pepper is unlike anything you can buy in the store-the taste is sublime. I first experienced the flavor on homemade baked pita chips (olive oil, salt and Salt Trader’s Kampot). I kind of made a pig of myself.
