Kampot Pepper Farm

In the 18th century, Kampot pepper was an indispensable delicacy on the tables of famous high-end restaurants in France. It was famous for its psychedelic aroma. In early 2016, the European Union officially awarded the "Protected Geographical Indication (PGI)" to Kampot pepper. Since then, only pepper grown in the natural environment of Kampot Province can enjoy this name, and its value has risen accordingly. It can be called "the world's best pepper". [La Plantation Kampot Pepper Plantation] is a free attraction, and it also provides free English and French guided tours to take you to the pepper garden. Generally, peppers need to be grown for three years before they can be harvested. White pepper is of the best quality but is the spiciest. It needs to be picked one by one by hand. The aroma is not as obvious as black pepper when eaten directly. It is suitable for stir-frying to bring out its spiciness and aroma. Red pepper is better than black pepper. Black pepper is picked last.
