Every white peppercorn begins as a red one. These White Kampot Peppercorns from Place des Épices are made from red pepper soaked overnight, then stripped of its husk. Protected by a PGI since 2010, red and white Kampot peppers are extremely rare, since they must be picked by hand at full ripeness by a large workforce, and Kampot is one of the few regions to produce red pepper. This organic white pepper develops a powerful bouquet and delicate aromas, its intense heat concealing notes of fresh herbs and lemon. Grind it over scallops, white fish, or a creamy sauce.
