Lampong pepper

The Indonesian Lampong pepper is a fine-leaved pepper variety, which originated in Sumatra, and is named after the Lampung region. This Lampong pepper also comes from this region.

Lampong pepper is a fine-leaved standard pepper with fairly small berries. Although it originates from India, it is classified as a Sumatra pepper variety, and is named after the Lampung region, an anciently important pepper area.

Much is known about pepper cultivation in Lampung, but only since the 15th century. What is certain, however, is that pepper was cultivated there considerably earlier, probably since the beginning of the Christian era. Black pepper was for a long time an insignificant crop in Sumatra and elsewhere in Indonesia compared to native pepper species such as the long pepper (Piper retrofractum), not for nothing called the Javanese long pepper.

That changed gradually. By the end of the sixteenth century, pepper was grown in Sumatra and Banten (Bantam) almost as much as in India, the country of origin. Aceh - a region in the far north of Sumatra - was even the centre of pepper cultivation at that time.

The lampong variety is also grown elsewhere, in and outside Indonesia. It is one of two varieties of pepper grown in Cambodian Kampot and called Kampot pepper.

Usage

The pepper is hot, and is considered the standard against which other peppers are measured. Its easy-to-match flavor palette makes it the ideal pepper for pepper spice blends, rubs, marinades, and on meats and eggs.
