The pepper plant is not a tree, but a vine of the Piperaceae family, native to the Malabar coast. Growing wild in forests along tree trunks, pepper was first cultivated in India's Kerala province. Plants were then transported and cultivated in tropical zones such as Brazil, Madagascar and Asian countries.
Our Kampot peppercorns come from an EcoCERT Fair Trade certified farm, and are certified organic on the European market.
