This long pepper is a hot, unripe pepper with a complex flavor. It is grown in the Cambodian region of Kampot, famous for its black pepper (Piper nigrum). This black long pepper is a versatile pepper  for Southeast Asian and European cuisine.

This  Black long pepper is harvested from the Javanese long pepper (Piper retrofractum) which is grown in Cambodia in the same region where the famous Kampot pepper grows. It comes from the ripe fruit, which can be fiery red and resembles a chili pepper, but is not.

This long pepper is grown in forests, where farmers plant them. They take advantage of the shade of existing trees and the fertile, moist environment, so that fertilization and irrigation are not necessary. The plants bear fruit quickly and give more yield each year. After the third year, the plants are uprooted and replaced.

This Kampot pepper is one of the  four types of long peppers that we have in the store. From Japan we also have the Javanese long pepper from Ishigaki Jima - currently  not available - and from Vietnam the Indian long pepper (Piper longum) from Dak Lak - Binh Duong, and the Cape long pepper (timiz) from Ethiopia.

Smell and taste

This long pepper is quite sharp, especially for a pepper of this type. You will taste a palette of sweet citrus tones, but the spicy-woody scent of black pepper *) dominates. These are the most important flavors in long pepper:

  • germacreen D *, spicy woody
  • β-caryophyllene*, sweet spicy and woody
  • 3-carene, citrusy
  • D-limonene (dipentene), sweet orange flavor, found in modest amounts in nutmeg, mace and cardamom,
  • α- and β-pinene *, woody woody pine odor, as in cumin, pine(cone), juniper and hemp
  • β-myrcene*, spicy aroma, with notes of fruits (mango, grape, peach) and mint
  • sabinene*, responsible for the woody, camphor-like taste of black pepper, among other things
  • α-phellandrene*, pleasant citrus and woody pepper flavor

Usage

The easiest way to use long pepper is to cut or break the pepper into pieces and then grind or pound these pieces, for example in a coffee grinder that you have specially designed for grinding spices.

Use black long pepper in stews  and in spice mixtures.  It goes perfectly with red meat, lamb, duck, terrines, tuna and oily fish. In desserts, you prefer to use the red, ripe version.
