A remarkable altitude

Mondolkiri pepper is a rare spice grown in the mountains of eastern Cambodia. This region, with a cooler climate and remarkable biodiversity, is a favorable land growing this pepper. Its grains reveal powerful and varied aromas, mixing fruity and woody notes.

Less known than the Black Kampot pepper, it is distinguished by a marked aromatic intensity and its ability to enhance many dishes. Each grain embodies both local farming traditions and the richness of Cambodian soil. Unlike Kampot pepper, which benefits from an IGP, Mondolkiri pepper is still developing on the international stage. Its organic farming and its respect for Fair Trade make it a still little widespread but promising spice.

Traditionally recognized properties

Antioxidant — It could neutralize free radicals, delaying cellular aging.
Digestive — It would promote salivation and secretion of digestive juices, relieving gastric disorders.
Anti-inflammatory — It could help reduce internal inflammation, especially joint inflammation.
Circulatory — It would stimulate blood circulation, beneficial to the cardiovascular system.
Metabolic — It would encourage more active metabolism, facilitating caloric combustion.

This pepper is black to brown. It offers a deep fragrance, close to that of the greatest peppers. In the nose, it releases woody and warm aromas, with notes of cocoa, vanilla and vegetal touches reminiscent of the havane. The grains are crisp, flexible, and rich in essential oils.

In the mouth, aromatic intensity gradually unfolds. The stinging remains moderate, while toasted flavors of cereals and dry wheat settle down. We also get notes of moka and vanilla, then a milky sensation that softens the whole and prolongs the taste experience, without aggressiveness.

This pepper adapts to many preparations.

He accompanies particularly well

Red meat simmered — Like the burgundy beef.
Poultry and lamb — tajine, mole poblano.
Sweet and salty recipes — Butt or ham with the los.
Daily food — tomato or pepper sauces, pasta, potatoes or cooked vegetables such as ratatouille.
Sweet preparations — white cheese, chocolate, red or exotic fruits, to which it brings an original spicy note.

To preserve the qualities of Mondolkiri Pepper Black: store it in a place dry, fresh and protected from direct light, in a sealed glass or metal container, or in the original kraft tube.

The right move: grind or crush just before use — Once ground, pepper quickly loses its qualities.
