Red Kampot Pepper -Cambodia-

RED KAMPOT PEPPER

Origin: Kampot, Cambodia
 

Red Kampot pepper is highly sought after for its sweeter and fruitier taste compared to black pepper.
It pairs well with dishes with less intense flavors, many also recommend it on fruits and desserts. 
Black pepper is great on meats, while red pepper can also be used very well on vegetarian and fish dishes.
 

The red Kampot pepper berries are left to ripen directly on the plant, while black pepper berries are harvested when they are still green.
Once their color shifts from green towards brighter shades, they are picked one by one in a long and inevitably manual process.
The ripening and color must be carefully monitored to preserve its taste.

It is definitely a unique pepper, absolutely worth trying.
