Black Kampot peppers are hand-picked and sorted, then sun-dried. They originate from the Cambodian province of Kampot and Kep. Kampot Pepper was first mentioned in the Angkor kingdom. Written records can be traced back to the 13th century travel journal of the explorer Tcheou Ta Kouanau… It is believed that Chinese immigrants from the Hainan region brought the pepper to Kampot. They were already growing pepper in China. During the colonial period, these peppers reached the height of their fame and became Cambodia’s main food export. In 1975, the Khmer Rouge reduced pepper cultivation to almost zero and started growing rice.

In 2009, Kampot pepper became the first Cambodian pepper to obtain Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status.The French Espellette Chili Pepper Farmers’ Union helped Cambodian farmers to obtain the PGI from the Agence Française de Développement. The PGI has enabled Kampot pepper farmers to increase their income tenfold. This is a great example of international solidarity among farmers.
