Red pepper is completely ripe pepper, which develops a unique sweet and fruity taste. It is due to the ripening process, which forms a layer of fruit sugar around the peppercorn. Real red pepper is rare because the ripe peppercorns are very sensitive, which makes harvesting and drying more labour-intensive.

As a result, the pink peppercorns of the Brasilian peppertree are often used as a substitute. However, it is not real red pepper! Real Red Kampot Pepper is in demand among top chefs around the world for its unique, sweet flavour and a real rarity. It goes perfectly with salads and adds a mild, fruity taste to many main dishes. Due to its sweet aroma, it even finds use in desserts and pastries – try it out!
