- Make sure the beans are dry and clean.
Roasting without oil :
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the peppercorns to the dry pan.
- Roast them for 2 to 3 minutes .
- Stir constantly to avoid burning the grains.
- The grains should begin to pop slightly, indicating they are ready.
Cooling :
- Remove the grains from the pan and let them cool to room temperature.

Crushing :

Preparation and Care of the Land

Before harvesting red pepper, meticulous soil preparation work is necessary. Solid supports are installed so that the pepper vines can rise and flourish. Young plants require a regular supply of natural fertilizers and daily watering to thrive.

The Maturity of the Pepper Plant: A Fruitful Wait

You must wait until the third year for the pepper plant to reach maturity and begin to produce quality grains. The harvest, carried out manually, is done on plants aged 3 to 15 years. In Kampot, the harvest takes place between March and April, during which time the grains reach full maturity.

Why Red Pepper?

Red pepper is the result of complete maturation of the fruit of the pepper plant. It changes from green to yellow, then to bright red, a sign of perfect maturity. It is this maturation that makes Kampot red pepper so special: it is the most complex to cultivate and offers an unrivaled aromatic palette.
