White Phú Quốc pepper

This white Phú Quốc pepper is produced in the traditional way on the Vietnamese island of Phú Quốc. The pepper is of superior quality, 0% tạp chất, ideally suited for the preparation of fish and squid dishes, and in exotic fruit salads.

Pepper has been cultivated traditionally on the Vietnamese island of Phú Quốc since the beginning of the 19th century. Pepper cultivation was introduced there by the Chinese, but has been greatly improved under French management, just as happened at the time in Kampot, in neighboring Cambodia.

Phú Quốc is located in Kiên Giang province and, at approximately 590 square kilometers, is the largest island in Vietnam. It is part of an archipelago of 22 islands and lies closer to the coast of Cambodia than that of Vietnam. The island has over 100,000 inhabitants. Pepper is one of the sources of income, alongside tourism and the famous nuoc mâm (fish sauce).

With government support, the traditional way in which pepper is cultivated on Phú Quốc is cherished. Since the 1950s, due to political developments and the war(s), pepper cultivation has become primarily a women's affair. And this remains the case on many plantations.

It is a relatively small pepper in Vietnam, as it accounts for only 1% of the country's total pepper harvest, which is generally large-scale and mechanized. In contrast to the pepper from Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu, on the east coast, east of To date, the Phú Quốc pepper in Ho Chi Minh City has not qualified for a geographical indication (GI).

We offer you the white Phú Quốc pepper, Tiêu sọ đỏ Phú Quốc, and the red Phú Quốc pepper, called Hạt tiêu chín đỏ Phú Quốc. The red pepper is picked ripe and then soaked in water to loosen the 'skin'. The white core that remains is dried in the sun. It has a somewhat creamy color. We offer premium quality white pepper, 0% tạp chất, free from impurities and with a pleasantly balanced fermented flavor.

Usage

This makes the pepper suitable for all types of white meat (from veal and poultry to – French style – tripe and andouillette), white fish, squid, and cuttlefish. Also try using the pepper in combination with apple or pear.
