Lampong pepper

The Indonesian lampong pepper is a fine-leaved type of pepper, which originates from Sumatra, and is named after the Lampung region. This Lampong pepper also comes from this region.

Lampong pepper is a fine-leaved standard pepper with fairly small berries. Although it originates from India, it is known as a Sumatran pepper variety and is named after the Lampung region, a traditionally important pepper growing area.

A lot is known about pepper cultivation in Lampung, but only since the 15th century. However, it is certain that the pepper was cultivated there considerably earlier, probably since the beginning of the common era. Black pepper was for a long time an insignificant crop on Sumatra and elsewhere in Indonesia compared to native pepper species such as the long pepper (Piper retrofractum).

That changed gradually. By the end of the 16th century, almost as much pepper was grown in Sumatra and Banten (Bantam) as in India, its country of origin. Aceh - a region in the far north of Sumatra - was even the center of pepper cultivation at that time.

The lampong variety is also cultivated elsewhere, in and outside Indonesia.wd. It is one of the two varieties of pepper that are verbouwd in Cambodian Kampot and are called Kampot pepper.
