Kampong Speu Palm Sugar
Kampong Speu Palm Sugar, produced in the Kampong Speu province of Cambodia, is a traditional sweetener known for its rich flavor and natural, caramel-like taste. It is made by extracting the sap from the flowers of sugar palm trees, which is then boiled down to create the sugar. The production process, which has been passed down through generations, is completely organic, with no artificial additives, making it a popular choice for both local cooking and international markets.
In 2019, Kampong Speu Palm Sugar was awarded the prestigious Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status from the European Union, recognizing its distinctive quality and connection to the Kampong Speu region. On April 2, 2010, it also received the Geographical Indication (GI) certificate in Cambodia from the Ministry of Commerce, ensuring that only palm sugar produced in Kampong Speu can be marketed under the Kampong Speu Palm Sugar name.
Kampong Speu Palm Sugar is a true reflection of Cambodia’s rich cultural heritage and commitment to sustainable agriculture.
