Where Pepper Grows
Kampot pepper originates from the coastal region of Kampot in Cambodia, an area considered by connoisseurs to be the home of the world’s finest pepper. The combination of ideal climate conditions and mineral-rich soils creates the perfect environment for cultivating this exceptional spice.
The Kampot region has a rich history and a long tradition of pepper cultivation dating back to the 13th century. Even then, Kampot pepper was highly valued by Khmer kings and traded as a precious commodity.
RIAHOU’s Kampot pepper is grown and processed using traditional methods, relying solely on natural pest control and fertilization techniques.
Harvesting and Production of Our Varieties
Each type of pepper has its own unique flavor profile, shaped by the harvest time and careful processing:
-
Green pepper is harvested early and preserved through fermentation in salt. This keeps it fresh and juicy with a pleasantly mild heat.
-
Black pepper is produced by sun-drying the green peppercorns, which gives it an intense, sharp flavor.
-
Red pepper comes from fully ripe red berries and is known for its fruity sweetness.
White pepper is also made from fully ripe red berries, which are fermented and then peeled, resulting in a mild and delicate flavor.
What Makes Our Pepper Special
We visited the coastal region of Kampot, renowned for its premium pepper, where we met a dedicated farmer who cultivates Kampot pepper in a long-standing family tradition. Our close collaboration allows us to ensure the exceptional quality of our pepper while supporting small local farmers.
Our peppercorns are vacuum-sealed directly on the farm to lock in their full aroma and ensure lasting freshness.
