Kampot is home to some of the world’s finest pepper and a visit to an organic pepper plantation is a must see. Red, green, black and white pepper is there to be tasted fresh from the vines, sorted by hand and also forming an educational experience by learning which type of pepper compliments which food. Make sure to leave some space in your suitcase as no other pepper will compare.
