Over 280 authentic references from the Khmer kingdom. Kampot pepper with PDO, fermented prahok, aromatic kroeung and Phnom Penh jasmine rice — unique ingredients from one of the least-known and most celebrated cuisines in Southeast Asia.
Cambodian cuisine is one of the least-known in Southeast Asia, yet it holds ingredients of remarkable singularity. Prahok, kroeung, Kampot pepper and jasmine rice are references that more and more professional chefs are seeking out.
The world's most prized pepper, with Protected Designation of Origin. Available in four varieties: black, white, red and fresh green. Grown in the hills of Kampot using century-old techniques with no agrochemicals.
Prahok is to Cambodia what miso is to Japan: a fermented product of national identity. Paste of freshwater fish fermented for months, the base of sauces, soups and dressings throughout Cambodian cuisine.
Kroeung is the aromatic base of all Khmer cooking. A blend of lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, kaffir lime leaves and roots. Available in four versions: yellow, green, red and intense amok-style.
Phnom Penh jasmine rice awarded best in the world in 2012, black and white glutinous rice for nom banh chok and desserts, and red wholegrain rice from the Battambang region.
Khmer palm sugar (Asia's most aromatic), Siem Reap coconut milk, palm vinegar and palm liquor tuak. The sugar palm is Cambodia's national tree and a symbol of its cuisine.
Nom banh chok (fermented fresh rice noodles), kuy teav (rice noodles for soup), kreung bong (puffed rice crackers) and roasted insect snacks such as Skuon a-ping spiders.
Kampot pepper has held Protected Designation of Origin status since 2010 and is regarded by the world's finest chefs as the most complex and aromatic pepper in existence. Grown in the hills of Kampot province in southern Cambodia, with a unique microclimate and iron-rich soils. No agrochemicals, hand-picked and sun-dried. Available in four radically different stages of ripeness.
