Vilgain Kampot pepper is one of the best peppers in the world. It comes from the region of the same name near the Gulf of Thailand, which is characterized by a sultry climate of heavy clay soil. This combination creates the perfect basis for the resulting quality of the pepper. Cultivation is traditionally done by hand and without the use of artificial fertilizers and pesticides.
The red Kampot pepper is very difficult to produce, with only a very few of the best farmers able to grow this variety. It comes from the same plant as black pepper, but its high degree of maturity makes it particularly aromatic and almost fruity, with a strong pungency. Use it only freshly ground to bring out its full flavour. It goes well with meat, poultry and fish.
