We visited Sothy at her pepper farm ten years ago and we're genuinely proud to offer her amazing handicraft. This black Kampot carries a long, elegant warmth with a clear aromatic direction of pine-forest with a bergamot sparkle and a cool peppery finish. Kampot pepper is a protected origin. Much like Champagne, the Kampot name is tied to a Geographical Indication (GI). A system designed to ensure the pepper truly comes from the right place and meets defined standards. That matters because Kampot has a terroir you can actually taste. Coastal air, intense sun and clear seasonal rhythms shape a pepper that's more aromatic, more layered and less bluntly aggressive than generic black pepper. Also part of the Starting - Cambodia bundle, together with Red Kampot Pepper and Salt Cured Green Kampot Pepper.
