The southwestern highlands of Cambodia belong to the best known and best pepper provenances at all. The warm, humid climate and the fertile soil allow a unique pepper to grow here. Newly, a fully matured, long pepper is also produced. Freshly blown, its tasty freshness rises to the nose, accompanied by fine wood notes and a hint of fruitiness. Its taste is strong, long-lasting and warming, almost fiery. Use it e.g. with potato dishes, fresh cheese or cooked whole in fruit compotes.
Nestled in the lush landscape between Kampot and Kep, La Plantation is a family-run, organic, and sustainable farm dedicated to preserving the centuries-old traditions of Kampot pepper cultivation. The farm also grows other spices according to Fair Trade standards. La Plantation not only provides jobs and financial stability for local farmers but also significantly contributes to the well-being of the surrounding communities.
