Terre Exotique White Kampot Pepper IGP 500g

Terre Exotique’s white Kampot pepper is hot and spicy, with menthol notes. The white Kampot pepper is harvested when fully ripe, sorted by hand and put directly in the sun to dry. With its tingling spice, this white pepper is fantastic served with shellfish, sweet strawberries or pan-fried white fish. We also love grinding it and adding a pinch to citrus fruit salads.

It is believed that Kampot pepper can be traced back to the 13the century, with Chinese immigrants bringing the pepper to Cambodia. In 1975, after centuries of farming, Kampot black pepper production depleted to almost nothing as rice cultivation took over. Over 30 years later in 2009, Kampot pepper was awarded PGI status (Protected Geographical Indication), giving this well-loved pepper a place on the table again.  

This 500g bag is ideal for catering and professional kitchens – the white Kampot pepper comes in opaque packaging, protecting it from light and preserving the fresh flavour, while the flat base makes it easy to store.

The company was founded by Erwann de Kerros, a Breton and seasoned traveller. After tasting pepper in the Penja plantation in Cameroon, Kerros yearned to try other specialist peppers and spices – and Terre Exotique was born.

The company works closely with farmers to preserve natural habitats, and to ensure a sustainable income for local communities. Each spice is carefully packed in pouches – the opaque packaging preserves the flavours and aroma of your spice, by protecting them from sunlight. So the ingredients stay at their best for longer.
