Most white pepper is produced from black peppercorns, so they must sometimes soak for several weeks to remove the envelope, giving the white pepper a strong and unpleasant aroma.
White Kampot Pepper is one of the few peppers in the world to be produced from the full-grown red corns. The red corns are picked one by one on the bunch. They are then washed, threshed and spend a night in a tank of clear water. The skin surrounding the kernel is then very soft and can easily be removed. The corns are washed several times and sun-dried for two to three days.
It stands out due to its creamy white to beige color and its real, pure pepper aroma. It can be ground fresh on grilled fish, shrimp, scallops, and shellfish like clams and oysters. We also love it on chicken. White Kampot Pepper will give a wonderful flavor to your sauces and broths.
In 2010, this “comeback” pepper earned Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status from the World Trade Organization, becoming to pepper what Champagne is to sparkling wine or Prosciutto di Parma is to ham.
Read more about it in articles by NPR here, the BBC here, the Seattle Times here, and the New York Times here.
Ingredients: 100% White Kampot Pepper (Piper Nigrum)

Fresh Salted Pepper can be eaten alone as an aperitif and used to salt nuts as a snack. We advise you not to cook it, just possibly heat it slightly at the end of cooking or in a sauce, so that it keeps its crunchy texture. It is perfect sprinkled on top of meats such as beef or duck, and will surprise your guests in a chocolate mousse or on ice-cream or grilled fruits.
The green peppercorns are washed and blanched and undergo a complex process of fermentation with Kampot sea salt. This fermentation reinforces the flavor that is like the fresh green pepper eaten fresh in Cambodia. Traditional recipes in the Kampot and Kep regions use a lot of fresh green pepper (Kep crab or prawns fried with green pepper, as well as many salads and local dishes). Green pepper cannot be kept fresh and must be eaten within 3 or 4 days so this salting process preserves the same flavors so it can be delivered to you!
Fresh Salted Pepper (Kampot IGP) is an exclusive production of La Plantation. Addictive from the first corn, the Fresh Salted Pepper from La Plantation is ready to consume. The privileged ones who had the chance to taste it have become crazy about the crunch and wonderful flavor.
Ingredients: Green peppercorns (Piper Nigrum), salt (20%)
Kampot Black Whole Peppercorn is recognized as one of the best peppers in the world.
The organic corns are harvested by hand, and then sorted according to density and size. PGI rules state the individual corns must be greater than 4 millimeters in diameter. Only these large, dark black corns can be sold under the name Kampot Pepper.
This Kampot Black Pepper is grown traditionally and organically.
Kampot Black Pepper is the spiciest of our Kampot peppercorn offerings. Freshly ground, it is perfectly suited for your dinner table.
Ingredients: 100% Black Kampot Pepper (Piper Nigrum)
Harvested by hand at full maturity, and then cleaned and sun-dried, these whole peppercorns are the flagship product of the PGI appellation. Its unique taste is less spicy than black peppercorns, and offers sweet notes of red fruits, prunes, dates, and honey. Its exotic perfume is amazing on your salads and main courses. For a special treat try it on strawberries or pears, where its delicate aroma can really shine, and don't forget to try it in chocolate, from ice cream to brownies to chocolate ganache... A fun and tasty treat!
The Kampot red and white peppers are extremely rare peppers because of the difficulty in harvesting them at the right moment at full maturity and the need to have a large enough workforce to pick these peppercorns by hand.
Ingredients: 100% Red Kampot Pepper (Piper Nigrum)
Fruits of the long pepper are harvested by hand, still green and before maturity. They are washed and blanched and undergo a complex process of fermentation with Kampot salt. Developed at La Plantation, this fermentation reinforces the flavor that is like the fresh green pepper picked and eaten from the pepper tree.
It can be eaten alone or cut into thin slices on a salad, on fruits and according to your inspiration.
These do NOT fit in a standard peppermill so we suggest you use a mortar and pestle, grater, or sharp knife.
Refrigerate after opening.
Ingredients: fresh long pepper (Piper Retrofractum), salt (20%)
100 gram (3.53 ounce) recyclable pouch
Kampot Red Long Pepper, "Piper retrofactum", is a flowering vine of the family of peppers, originally from Java, Indonesia. The first reference to long pepper appeared in Indian textbooks of Ayurvedic medicine, where its medicinal and dietary benefits are described in detail. Very popular in Roman and Greek times, it was one of the first spices to reach Europe, from the 6th or 5th century BC.
We love this sweet & spicy peppercorn on sauteed fruits like pears and pineapples, on salads, chicken, and fish, or tossed whole into a slow braise.
These do NOT fit in a standard peppermill so we suggest you use a mortar and pestle, or grate it.
Ingredients: 100% red long pepper

One of the most common types of aji (chili) in Peru, Aji Panca is 3 to 5 inches in length and has a thick flesh that matures from a green to dark red in color. Distinct from the other ajis in its spiciness, Aji Panca is mild in heat intensity (a heat level of 2 on a scale of 10; 1,500 Scoville units) and provides a fruity, berry-like flavor that goes well in stews, sauces, and fish dishes.
Aji panca is so sweet, so berry-like, that it can be finely chopped or ground into a powder and tossed into foods to add a sweet, mild heat.
To create a paste, remove the stems and soak ajis in water overnight. Drain and mix ajis in a blender with salt, pepper, garlic and extra virgin olive oil. For a more mild paste, remove the seeds and veins before blending. You can freeze the paste for longer storage as necessary.
Ingredients: Organic Panca chili.
1.25 ounce bag
Aji amarillo, or amarillo chili, is the most common type of aji and is one of the most important ingredients in Peruvian cooking. It has a heat level of 7 on a scale of 10 (50,000 Scoville units). It is great in combination with meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, pasta, and rice dishes, and is used to season nuts.
The unique flavor of the Aji Amarillo makes it worth seeking out and incorporating into your cooking. Even though it is a "chili pepper" it has a lot of fruitiness combined with its heat, unlike poblanos or jalapenos which can be harsh. It is a very versatile chili, suitable for everyday use as it will complement your dish without overwhelming it.
Try them in these recipes:
Ingredients: Organic Amarillo chili.
Aji Limo is a chili grown and used mostly on the northern coast of Peru. The pod is 2-3 inches long and changes from a yellow to deep reddish-orange color when it ripens.

It is also wonderful as a base for chicken and pasta recipes, and a perfect way to add an extra flavor dimension to stew and chili.
Ingredients: Organic Limo chili.
From their home base in the Abruzzo Region of Italy the Iacovanelli family, ADI’s owners, care for their bees with strictly organic techniques that blend solid traditions with contemporary innovation. They only harvest their honey when it is fully mature: when flavor, color, aroma, and nutritional content reach their peak.
This traditional, pale amber, and slightly chewy, Mediterranean honey has an intense and savory aromatic profile, and a full-bodied sweetness with a strong piney aroma and herbaceous flavor. Excellent as a glaze for roasted chicken or pork, for baking - especially in olive oil cakes, and on whole grain toast.
8.8 ounce (250 gram) glass jar
This Cherry Blossom Honey is a pale, opaque, and creamy honey with a complex sweetness. We think it is excellent with smoky or sheep’s milk cheeses, Japanese green teas, and pastries.
This is a rich, dark amber and liquid honey from the chestnut tree flowers of the Abruzzo hills. We love this savory honey as it is perfect for glazes, pairs wonderfully with Taleggio and Fontina cheeses, and is great on roasted meats. It is also incredible on radicchio, on squash, and in pumpkin soups.

Antonino Mennella is a passionate young extra virgin olive oil producer from the Salerno area of Campania, Italy. On his small 2,000-tree farm he produces this limited edition Raro ('rare') extra virgin olive oil by removing the pits of the Ravece and Rotondella olives, and then only pressing the remaining fruit. This process is known as "denocciolate".
This pitting before pressing is unique, and it creates an extraordinary extra virgin olive oil unlike any other you will find.
Antonino uses advanced pressing and processing technology to produce a super extra virgin olive oil with double the average content of polyphenol antioxidants, and an astoundingly low level of free oleic acid. As a result, this extra virgin olive oil has almost the same level of freshness as an olive still on the tree.
La Madonna dell’Olivo has optimal levels of vitamin E tocopherols, and Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. This extra virgin olive oil has a remarkably well balanced flavor profile and is thus a ‘double winner’ -- an elixir of good health with amazing flavor.
This is a deep, intensely fruity extra virgin olive oil with irresistible aromas.
"My objective," says Antonino, "is to fight uniformity and exalt differences." Try this Raro Extra Virgin Olive Oil and you will see exactly what he means!
Produced and bottled by La Madonna dell’Olivo with olives grown, harvested, and pressed at the La Madonna dell’Olivo Estate in Italy.
The Castillo de Canena Estate has produced exceptional extra virgin olive oils in the Guadalquivir Valley of Andalusia in the south of Spain since 1780. This exceptional smoked oil is artisanally crafted by slowly infusing their high quality, hand-harvested, Castillo Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil with naturally produced smoke from a mix of organic oak, beech, and birch woods. When you open the bottle you will smell, and taste, exquisitely smoked Arbequina. This unique oil is divine on its own, or you can pair it with your favorite recipes to add a smoky component to your dressings, marinades, and final dishes.
In order to produce this wonderful, exquisite, cutting-edge cold smoked extra virgin olive oil, Castillo de Canena designed a unique process. Their burner allows the wood chips to slowly smolder. The smoke is then cooled, and passed through a water filter. They then slowly, over the course of 6 hours, release the cold smoke into the bottom of the tank which holds the Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This artisanal process naturally imparts the smoky flavor and aroma into the oil.
Produced and bottled by Castillo de Canena with olives grown, harvested, and pressed at the Castillo de Canena Estate in Spain.
