Fresh Kampot IGP green pepper with salt kraft bag

Fingourmets fresh Kampot PGI green pepper with salt comes to us from a small producer in Kampot, a city in southwestern Cambodia. Kampot pepper is one of the very first products to benefit from a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) in Asia. We can say that this exceptional pepper has come a long way because in 1975 after the Khmer Rouge (communist dictatorship) took power in Cambodia, the cultivation of Kampot pepper was completely stopped to promote mass agricultural production such as cultivation rice. But that would not be without counting on the tenacity of the terroir of the province of Kampot and Kep, located between the sea and the mountains, which gives Kampot pepper its exceptional aromas. The fresh Kampot IGP green salt pepper is harvested before maturity, when the grains are still green. It is then placed in dry brine in Kampot fleur de sel. This is the best way to get closer to the vegetal aromas of green pepper picked directly from the vine.
