Travel To Memot-Pepper in Cambodia

CAMBODIAN CULTURE Southeast Asia's Cambodia is a popular destination for all kinds of travelers: from independent backpackers who roam far off the beaten track to explore the stunning sugar-palm dotted hinterland to luxury tourists who stay in style and see Cambodia's main draw card of Angkor Wat between massages and exquisite French meals. The ancient temple complex of Angkor Wat is Cambodia's national treasure. The nearby city of Siem Reap is home to an array of other ruins, such as Beng Mealea, Bantaey Srei, and the holy mountain Phnom Kulen. Consider as well a break on the lazy white-sand beaches of Sihanoukville, a stay at a stylish resort in resurging coastal Kep, or a tour to the atmospheric, mist-shrouded Bokor Hill Station for a taste of Cambodia's 1960s heyday.

M'rait Memot black pepper (also known as m’rait) delivers a strong and delicate aroma. Its taste, which can range from intensely spicy to mildly sweet, reveals hints of flowers. Cambodian pepper has unique flavor and smell distinguishing it from other type of peppers. The hot taste has slight flavors of eucalyptus and mint. The pepper has an incredible depth of flavor, aroma and pepperine. This black pepper suits all kind of dishes and distinguishes itself in particular with grilled fish and meat. Black pepper from the town of Memot is sold in local markets and regional markets in Cambodia in sacks of 5 kg each). A traditional cake is prepared with the Cambodian black pepper that can be sweet or savory for traditional festivals (like the Water Festival or Ancestors’ Day called Pchum Ben Festival) and weddings. The biggest problem that affects Cambodia’s agriculture regards the sale of lands cultivated by local farmers, which is being acquired by others who are buying up the land at prices unfavourable to the selling farmers. In Memot, there are currently only about a dozen pepper producers today. The survival of the pepper depends on increased sales inside and especially outside of Cambodia.The unripe pepper fruit is harvested only by hand annually between March and May. The fruits are briefly blanched in boiling water to wash them and prepare them for drying. Breaking the skin of the fruit during drying speeds up the blackening of the peppercorn. The peppercorns are then sorted and dried, dehydrating and blackening in the sun. Once dry, they can be called ‘black pepper.’ Back to the archive >
