Description

Kampot Pepper is one of only two peppers in the world to be awarded a PGI (Protected Geographical Indication). It owes its distinctive flavour to its terroir and specific cultivation practices, rather like a classified wine. Bordered by the sea, the terroir of Kampot pepper benefits from an exceptional climate in terms of sunshine, sea breezes, soil and rainfall during the rainy season (monsoon). The Kampot Pepper appellation is governed by specifications and controlled by the KPPA (Kampot Pepper Promotion Association).
