In Cambodia, black pepper is not a background spice. It is a star ingredient. Kampot pepper, grown in southern Cambodia for centuries, has a flavor that chefs describe with words like eucalyptus, mint, and sweet heat. If you are cooking Cambodian dishes like Kampot pepper chicken or lok lak, the pepper you use matters. La Plantation Kampot Black Peppercorns bring that specific Cambodian flavor to your kitchen. They are whole peppercorns, PGI-certified, and ready for your pepper mill.
