Kampot Red Pepper - Rare PGI Certified Cambodian Pepper

Kampot red pepper is one of the world's rarest and most prized peppers, holding prestigious PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) certification from Cambodia. This exceptional Kampot red pepper is made from fully ripe, unpeeled pepper berries, delivering intensely aromatic, fruity, and floral notes that distinguish it from all other peppers. Our premium Kampot red pepper comes from hand-cultivated farms in Cambodia's Kampot region, where traditional methods and perfect growing conditions create this extraordinary spice.

What Makes Kampot Red Pepper Special?

Kampot red pepper stands apart as one of the world's finest peppers for several compelling reasons:

  • PGI Certification - Only pepper from Kampot, Cambodia can carry this protected designation
  • Fully Ripe Berries - Harvested at peak ripeness for maximum flavor and aroma
  • Rare Production - Only the best pepper farmers produce red Kampot pepper due to difficulty
  • Fruity & Floral - Unique flavor profile with citrus, eucalyptus, and mint notes
  • Hand-Cultivated - No artificial fertilizers or pesticides, traditional methods only
  • Intense Aroma - Particularly aromatic compared to black or white Kampot pepper

Kampot Red Pepper Flavor Profile

The taste of Kampot red pepper is extraordinarily complex and nuanced:

  • Intensely Spicy - Strong pungency from fully ripe berries
  • Fruity Sweetness - Almost fruit-like aromatic quality
  • Floral Notes - Delicate flower aromatics throughout
  • Citrus Hints - Bright, zesty undertones
  • Eucalyptus & Mint - Cooling, refreshing finish
  • Complex Heat - Ranges from intensely spicy to mildly sweet

The Kampot Region - Perfect Pepper Terroir

Kampot red pepper grows exclusively in Cambodia's Kampot province, where unique conditions create exceptional quality:

  • Climate - Muggy-hot tropical weather near the Gulf of Thailand
  • Soil - Heavy clay soils rich in minerals
  • Traditional Methods - Hand-cultivation passed down through generations
  • Organic Practices - No artificial fertilizers or pesticides
  • PGI Protection - Geographic indication ensures authenticity

The same Kampot pepper plant produces black, white, and red varieties - the color depends on ripeness and processing. Kampot red pepper represents the fully ripe, unpeeled berries, making it the rarest and most aromatic of all Kampot varieties.

Kampot Red Pepper vs Other Kampot Varieties

Understanding the differences between Kampot pepper varieties:

  • Kampot Black Pepper - Harvested slightly underripe, dried with skin, bold and earthy
