🌶 What is Cambodian Pepper? (Mondulkiri, Kampot, and Memot)

Cambodia produces some of the world’s most exceptional peppers—celebrated for their unique terroirs and centuries-old traditions. Among the most renowned are Mondulkiri, Kampot, and Memot peppers, each offering distinct flavors and stories rooted in their regions of origin.

🏅 Protected Origins & Authenticity

Kampot Pepper is Cambodia’s most famous spice, recognized with Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status both in Cambodia and the European Union. Mondulkiri and Memot peppers, while less known internationally, are cherished locally for their singular aroma and taste, shaped by their unique microclimates and soils.
