Kampot pepper, traditionally cultivated in the Kampot region, is a treasure within our selection. With its PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) label, it is considered one of the finest peppers in the world. Its beautiful red color and fruity, floral notes make it a privileged choice for connoisseurs.
Cambodian pepper, specifically Kampot Pepper PGI, is a precious export product. Kampot is considered the ideal region for pepper cultivation due to its climatic conditions and fertile soil — its presence was documented as early as the late 13th century by Chinese diplomat Zhou Daguan during his visit to the Angkorian Empire.
Production reached its peak in the 19th and early 20th centuries under the French protectorate: the region experienced a true "pepper fever," and production was industrialized to reach a peak of 8,000 tons per year. Kampot pepper then became the darling of French haute cuisine in Paris, exclusively gracing tables for the famous steak au poivre.
However, between 1975 and 1979, the Khmer Rouge regime took over the country: plantations were razed or abandoned, and the vines died from a lack of maintenance. It was only in the late 1990s, with the return of peace, that farming families returned to their ancestral lands to patiently revive the crop.
In 2010, Kampot pepper became the first Cambodian product to obtain Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status, meaning that only peppers grown in this region can be called "Kampot Pepper." Historic recognition by the European Union followed in February 2016, elevating this spice to the same level of excellence as Champagne or Roquefort. Today, Kampot pepper is grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, respecting ancestral craftsmanship.
Kampot black pepper is obtained by harvesting the berries while still green and letting them dry in the sun until they turn black. White pepper is produced by harvesting ripe berries, then soaking them in boiling and then ice water to remove the outer skin, leaving the white core inside. Red pepper, the rarest and most precious, is harvested when the berries are completely ripe and red, then sun-dried to preserve its vibrant color.
Here is a unique pepper, celebrated for its wealth of complex flavors:
Kampot Red Pepper is grown in Cambodia and benefits from a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), the highest European recognition for a foodstuff linked to its terroir. Considered one of the treasures of the gastronomic world, it offers an incomparable and unique tasting experience.

My name is Arnaud Sion, and in 2010 I created Le Comptoir de Toamasina, the specialist in Bourbon vanilla beans, Tahitian vanilla, and Papua vanilla. Over time, our flavor range expanded, and today we are proud to be a wholesale supplier of Kampot Red Pepper, based in Lille. We also share tutorials on my YouTube channel so you can discover how this pepper develops its aromas in cooking.
Our commitment to quality begins with selecting the finest peppercorns. I trained in the state of Espírito Santo in Brazil, in Bahia, and in Madagascar to learn how to select the best peppercorns. For every purchase, I ask my pepper importer for the technical data sheet, the weight per liter, and product samples.
Due to its high value on the global market, Kampot pepper is frequently subject to counterfeiting. To be legally sold under this name, the packaging must feature the collective Kampot Pepper PGI logo, the Cambodian national Geographical Indications logo, the phrase "Protected Geographical Indication," and a unique batch number that allows traceability right back to the original farm and harvest date. The Kampot Pepper Promotion Association (KPPA) and organizations like Ecocert conduct regular audits.
"From discovery to professional formatting—the rarest treasure of Kampot, featuring Morello cherry, honey, and orange peel in every peppercorn."
