to use Kampot pepper in cooking?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kampot pepper is recognized worldwide for its fine aromas.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it would be a mistake to save it only for special occasions.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to the richness of its different colors, it pairs just as well with meats as it does with fish, vegetables, sauces\u2026 and even certain desserts.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The secret simply lies in choosing the right pepper at the right time.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Always prioritize whole peppercorns<\/h1>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To fully enjoy all the qualities of Kampot pepper, we recommend buying it as whole peppercorns.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ground at the last moment, it retains all its aromatic richness and develops incomparable flavors.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conversely, pre-ground pepper gradually loses part of its fragrance when in contact with the air.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Black pepper<\/h1>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Black pepper is the most intense.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its powerful character perfectly accompanies:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>grilled red meats;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>steaks;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>beef ribs;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>grilled fish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We suggest grinding it directly onto the dish at the time of serving rather than cooking it, in order to preserve the full complexity of its aromas.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Red pepper<\/h1>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rarer and particularly refined, red pepper develops fruity and slightly lemony notes.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It especially enhances:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>game;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>wild boar;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>venison;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>stewed meats;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>poultry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also pairs very well with:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>vegetables;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sauces;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>chocolate desserts;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>vanilla desserts;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>apple or pear compotes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like black pepper, it is best to add it at the end of cooking.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">White pepper<\/h1>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More discreet but just as elegant, white pepper delicately seasons dishes without masking their flavors.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is particularly suitable for:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>fish;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>crustaceans;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>shellfish;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>white sauces;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>b\u00e9chamel;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>soups.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its subtle taste also makes it an excellent companion for poultry and vegetables.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Green pepper<\/h1>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Green pepper is milder and more vegetal.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once lightly crushed, it develops all its freshness.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It ideally accompanies:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>cream sauces;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>terrines;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>stuffings;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>marinades;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>duck;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>poultry;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>game.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Widely used in Asian cuisine, it brings a beautiful freshness to preparations.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A must-try specialty: Kep crab with green pepper<\/h1>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s impossible to mention local gastronomy without talking about the famous <strong>Kep crab saut\u00e9ed with green pepper<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This iconic recipe has become one of the culinary symbols of the region.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The combination of the sweetness of freshly caught crab and the vegetal aromas of green Kampot pepper offers a unique taste experience.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are staying in the region, this is a dish we highly recommend you discover.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h1
