Muntok pepper, a relative of Lampong, is grown exclusively for making white pepper, in the hills behind the village of Muntok, on the Indonesian island of Bangka. Farmers climb traditional bamboo tripods and hand-pick fruit spikes of red ripe pepper berries. The fruit spikes are packed into rice sacks and soaked in slow running streams of water that come down off the mountains above. Seven days later the outermost skin of the pepper has disintegrated and the peppercorns are piled together for a traditional trampling called "nari mereca" or the Pepper Dance. The dancing separates the peppercorns from the fruit spike and after a final washing the berries are left to dry in the sun where they naturally will bleach to a whitish-cream.

Muntok pepper is a perfect association with pork tenderloin, veal chops, poultry, white fish and shellfish, rice and pasta, steamed vegetables, blue cheese and pears.
