Seeking to find new markets for Cambodia’s world-renowned Kampot pepper, the Ministry of Commerce held talks last week with Swiss dairy La Maison du Gruyere.
During a meeting Saturday with Eric Thevenod and Georges Magnin, representatives of La Maison du Gruyere, Commerce Minister Pan Sorasak discussed the many attributes and uses of the famous Cambodian product, and suggested it will be a great addition to recipes used by the Swiss diary to concoct their cheeses.
The Swiss cheese producers said they will consider adding the pepper to their recipes, and promised to visit Kampot’s pepper farms while in Cambodia.
“If Kampot pepper is used to produce cheese in Europe, the market for this product will expand enormously,” Mr Sorasak told reporters.
