Cocoa & Brioche Notes
Symphony of warm brioche, Bahia cacao, and candied citrus. Softer, subtler, and fruitier than black pepper.
Refillable Grinder
High-precision mechanical grinder bottle to preserve essential oils and crush freshly onto your plate.
Introduced to Arnaud Sion by partner growers in Cambodia's Kampot province, **Dark Red Kampot Pepper** was a true culinary revelation. Regarded by top chefs as one of the finest peppers in the world, it will instantly delight lovers of the famous PGI Red Kampot Pepper.
This culinary treasure is the result of meticulous hand selection. Picked at late over-ripeness, the berry retains its fleshy pericarp bursting with natural sugars. When soaked and husked, this same berry becomes rare White Kampot Pepper. Delicately sun-dried, Dark Red develops a captivating aroma of warm brioche, cocoa, and golden fruits.
