Quick Reference
What is it?: Fully ripe red pepper berries from Kampot, Cambodia, carefully dried to preserve their rare mature character.
Flavour: Rich, warm and rounded with ripe fruit sweetness beneath the pepper heat.
Common uses: Finishing meat, sauces, chocolate dishes, fruit and special pepper blends.
Pairs well with: Duck, pork, strawberries, dark chocolate and roasted roots.
Compare with: Sweeter and more mature than Kampot black pepper because the berries remain on the vine until red.
Substitute: Kampot black pepper with a pinch of pink peppercorn for a fruitier edge.
Storage: Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from steam, moisture and direct light. Whole peppercorns retain their aroma longer than ground pepper; close the pack promptly after use.
