Is That "Kampot Pepper" You're Buying in Kampot Really From Kampot? (VIDEO)
There are two varieties of plants used by the farmers in Kampot: Kamchay and Lampong (or Belantoeung), known locally as “big leaves” and “small leaves”. Replication is done by cuttings. The geographical indication’s book of specifications forbids the use of any other varieties.
Plantations are controlled by the Kampot Pepper Promotion Association (KPPA) and by the independent certification body EcoCert. Only accredited members of the KPPA, adhering to the PGI criteria, are authorised to sell pepper using the “Kampot Pepper” appellation of origin.http://kampotpepper.com/
