A few words about Kampot pepper
Kampot pepper is a type of black pepper that grows in the region around Kampot, Cambodia.
It’s made by fermenting black peppercorns in a brine solution and then drying them out in the sun. The result is a sweet, smokey, and fruity seasoning with notes of vanilla, chocolate, coffee—and many other flavors depending on how long it’s been fermented!
The best part about Kampot pepper? It’s not just delicious; it has medicinal properties too! In fact it was one of the most popular spices used by traditional medicine practitioners for centuries before modern medicine came along with its own treatments for various ailments…
Some Pepper varieties from Kampot
There are four main varieties of pepper from Kampot: white, red, green and black.
White pepper is the most common in Cambodia. It’s milder than other peppers and is often used for savory dishes or in sauces to add a little kick.
Red pepper is the hottest and most flavorful of the bunch. It’s used extensively in Khmer cuisine as a seasoning for curry paste or ground into powder to make chili sauce or papaya salad dressing.
Green peppercorns come from unripe fruits picked before they turn red and dried whole without their outer skin removed. They are used as an ingredient in many French recipes like boeuf bourguignon (beef stew) because they have an earthy flavor that adds depth to otherwise bland dishes when combined with other spices such as garlic or onions! Black peppercorns have been soaked until soft then dried – giving them their dark appearance
