Step into the world of authentic Cambodian flavour with Senteurs d’Angkor and its signature Kampot Pepper, whole green salted a rare delicacy that captures the essence of Kampot. Hand-harvested and naturally preserved through a gentle fermentation process, this exceptional pepper reveals a bold, tangy, and umami-rich character.

Harvested at the Perfect Moment

In the fertile lands of Kampot province, green peppercorns are picked at their peak before full ripeness when their freshness, aroma, and natural vibrancy are at their finest.

Through close collaboration with local farming communities, Senteurs d’Angkor supports sustainable agriculture while preserving generations of traditional expertise.

A Natural Fermentation Process, A Unique Taste

Shortly after harvest, the fresh peppercorns are blended with Kampot’s prized flower of salt from nearby coastal salt fields. This marks the beginning of a natural fermentation process.

Over time, the interaction of salt, minerals, and natural enzymes gently transforms the peppercorns. This slow fermentation enhances their complexity, developing a flavour profile that is tangy, slightly fruity, and deeply umami while maintaining their signature freshness.
