Kampot Pepper Rare Cambodian Peppercorns (Red, Spice Jar)

Kampot was, until the late 60s, the taste of Europe’s pepper. During the French Cambodian protectorate at the beginning of the 20th century, all the pepper used in France was completely Kampot Pepper. It has just the right flavor for the recipes that developed there and spread throughout Europe. Then nearly all production was wiped out in a revolution. Today it’s coming back. This is the taste of that comeback.

This Kampot is far more flavorful than the generic pepper you might find at the local supermarket. It has a delicious pepper flavor without having to use excessive amounts and intensifying the heat. I doubt I will use anything else due to Kampot's strong flavor profile - more peppery flavor and less heat. Kampot is especially flavorful and yummy if it is bloomed with heat in butter or oil prior to use in a recipe. I may be turning into a "pepper snob." Absolutely Delicious! Black = bold pepper flavor - less heat than generic blends White = same as black, but delicate and mild Red = same as black, but with more fruit and floral notes (my favorite) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

If you love black pepper, this is next level. It’s almost a whole new spice. Love the slow burn heat. Have actually given this to friends as a gift after trying it

Exactly as advertised and arrived in a timely fashion

If you’ve never used Kampot pepper in a recipe you really should-and this brand delivers! Other brands state they are Kampot peppers but not all things are what they say. I’m glad this brand was packaged well and delivers all the flavors promised. It’s spicy and robust with a little bit of citrus-y flavor. I toast mine in a dry skillet before adding it to beef, chicken, tofu dishes. It’s strong so I go easier on it with seafood 🦞

Kampot peppercorns are amazing in flavour but don’t blow your head off. A must have for pepper beef - and any dish where you want the flavour of black pepper without tons of heat. The mild flavour goes well in salads too - won’t overpower eggs. Nice addition to your kitchen spices.

Outstanding pepper. If you like pepper, try this!

After reading about these peppercorns, I was expecting something quite special. In my opinion, they're just OK. The flavor is subtle. I much prefer the tellicherry peppercorns.
