Sarabar, Kampot white pepper (Cambodia) - 40ml

Origin and Raw Materials: This white pepper originates from the Kampot province in Cambodia, a region benefiting from a unique microclimate protected by mountains and the ocean, alongside nutrient-rich quartz soils. The Piper nigrum berries are hand-harvested at full ripeness when turning a bright red color. Strict selection ensures uniform grains naturally rich in essential oils.

Producer: Founded by Karine Blanc, Sarabar meticulously sources exceptional peppers and rare spices worldwide. Partnering directly with local growers within a committed agricultural network, Karine Blanc supports environmentally responsible practices and traditional craftsmanship. Each batch is inspected and packaged in France to preserve the berries' aromatic integrity.

Production Process: To obtain white pepper, ripe red berries are soaked in fresh water to gently remove the outer pericarp. The inner core is then carefully washed and sun-dried naturally until achieving a uniform ivory hue. No chemical treatments are used throughout this artisanal process.

Tasting Notes: The grains display a uniform ivory color and a smooth surface. On the nose, this pepper develops a complex bouquet with notes of eucalyptus, fresh flowers, and citrus. On the palate, the entry is clean, velvety, and refined without aggressive bitterness, leaving a persistent, delicately spiced herbal freshness.

Serving Advice & Aging Potential: Grind fresh just before serving over poached or seared white fish, shellfish, poultry in cream sauce, asparagus, or spring vegetables. It also pairs wonderfully with fresh goat or sheep's milk cheeses served between 16 and 18 degrees Celsius. Store in a cool, dry place away from light and heat in its airtight container.

Awards & Environmental Certifications: Kampot Pepper benefits from a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI Kampot Pepper). Sarabar ensures rigorous quality control compliant with European food safety standards./p>
