Phu Quoc Late Harvest Pepper

Phu Quoc pepper is Vietnam’s most famous pepper. It grows on an island called Phu Quoc, situated of Vietnam’s most southern tip. The soil here is sandy and dry. The weather is hot. And it rains quite a lot. Perfect for pepper cultivation.

Our pepper comes from the Pham family who moved to an abandoned pepper farm on the island in the early 90s. Their pepper is reddish in color because the family waits until it has become fully mature and red before they harvest. This gives a sweeter taste with a unique, lingering white pepper heat. It’s a smooth pepper. Round and perfect for the mill to apply once the dish is done, for that final touch.
