Kampot pepper, grown in Cambodia’s Kampot Province, brings a floral, slightly sweet heat to Lok Lak, pepper chicken, and simple grilled foods. This IndoChine Organic Kampot Pepper gives US home cooks a way to keep whole black Kampot peppercorns on hand. It is PGI-protected and certified organic, so you know what you are getting. If you are building a Cambodian pantry, this is a practical ingredient to consider.
