Product description

Red Long Pepper is a climbing plant evolving in Indonesian to India region of the world. Our Red Long Pepper comes from Kampot in Cambodia, one of the best pepper growing areas, originally the first pepper Europe used was the Long Pepper type not the peppercorn we use today.

All spices grow to its climate, the soil and weather play a massive role in how the spice will taste and smell, growing in the right area of the world is vital to produce natures bounty making our Red Long Pepper richer in flavour and aroma. The fruity sweet smell somewhat similar to cinnamon is present along with the intense pepper flavour.

So whats the difference between Black Long Pepper and Red Long Pepper? A bunch of patience! The farmers have to wait for the climate to right, hot and humid days create the perfect conditions for the long pepper to mature to a lovely red colour. Long Peppers can be cooked with whole in stews and similar, can be a little difficult to grind in a pepper mill, always best to crush up the amount you would like to us and either use in a pepper mill or mortar.

Grown in Cambodia
