White Phú Quốc pepper

This white Phú Quốc pepper is produced in a traditional way on  the Vietnamese island of Phú Quốc. The pepper is of superior quality, 0%  tap fish, ideally suited for preparing fish and squid dishes, and in exotic fruit salads.

On the Vietnamese island of Phú Quốc, pepper has been grown traditionally since the early 19th century. Pepper cultivation was introduced by the Chinese, but was greatly improved under French management, as it was in Kampot, in neighbouring Cambodia.

Phú Quốc is located in Kiên Giang Province, and is the largest island in Vietnam, measuring approximately 590 square kilometres. It is part of an archipelago of 22 islands, and is closer to the coast of Cambodia than to Vietnam. The island has a population of over 100,000. Pepper is one of the sources of income, along with tourism and the famous nuoc mâm (fish sauce).

With government support, the traditional way in which pepper is grown on Phú Quốc is cherished. Since the fifties of the last century, pepper cultivation has 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, accounting for only 1% of the country's total pepper crop, which is usually large-scale and mechanized. Unlike the pepper from Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu, on the east coast, east of  Ho Chi Minh City has not yet approved the Phú Quốc pepper for geographical indication (GI).

We offer you the white Phu Quoc pepper, Tiêu sọ đỏ Phu Quốc and the red Phu Quốc pepper, called Hạt tiêu chín đỏ Phu Quốc. The red pepper is picked ripe and then soaked in water to loosen the 'skin'. The white core that remains is dried in the sun. It has a somewhat creamy colour. We offer the premium quality white pepper, 0% tap chat, free of impurities and with a pleasantly blanched fermented flavour.

Usage

The pepper has various, 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 French - tripe and andouilette), white fish, squid and cuttlefish. Also use the pepper in combination with apple or pear.
