Kampot sea salt

Kampot sea salt (Khmer: អំបិល​សមុទ្រកំពត, French: Sel de mer de Kampot) is extracted from the seawater through salt evaporation ponds in the coastal Kampot and Kep provinces. Salt farms cover around 4,748 hectares of land in both provinces and are owned by 200 families who are members of Kampot-Kep Salt Association.

The highest quality Kampot sea salt is Kampot Flower of Salt (ផ្កាអំបិលកំពត, Fleur de sel de Kampot), the fleur de sel harvested in small quantities from each pond only during April and May, the warmest months of the year, when there is little to no wind.
