Peppered
New story I started and which will be finished later next year: Kampot pepper (VIJ2008081). Kampot pepper is world renowned for its unique perfume and taste. It was a thriving business during the French colonial times and is now being revived through efforts to give it a Geographical Indication protection which will guarantee quality and origin to the customer.
