White Phú Quốc pepper

This white Phú Quốc pepper is traditionally produced 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 in the traditional way on the Vietnamese island of Phú Quốcwd since the early 19th century. Pepper cultivation was introduced by the Chinese, but has improved greatly under French management, just as happened in Kampot, in neighboring Cambodia.

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

With government support, the traditional method of growing pepper in Phú Quốcwd is cherished. Since the 1950s, pepper cultivation has mainly become a women's affair due to political developments and the war(s). And it still is on many plantations.

It is a relatively small pepper in Vietnam, because it makes up only 1% of the country's total pepper harvest, which is on average large-scale and mechanized. Unlike the pepper from Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu, on the east coast, east of Ho Chi Minh City, the Phú Quốc pepper has not yet been eligible for 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 when ripe and then soaked in water to release 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 blanched ferment taste.

Usage

The pepper has several subtle aromas of fruit (mango/raspberry) and a slightly sour accent. This makes the pepper suitable for all types of white meat (from veal and poultry to - in the French style - tripe and andouilette), white fish, squid and squid. Also use the pepper in combination with apple or pear.
