The Crusco Pepper from Agriturismo Parco Verde is a real delight! It is a sweet, thin, and elongated pepper, cultivated for centuries in the Lucanian lands, in Basilicata, where it finds the ideal climate to develop a unique flavor. After harvesting, the peppers are naturally dried in the sun, often hung in long braids, and then briefly fried to become "cruschi", that is, crunchy. This traditional processing enhances their sweetness, with slightly smoky notes and a crumbly texture that makes them irresistible. Crusco peppers are a versatile ingredient: they can be enjoyed as a snack, crumbled over first courses such as pasta with breadcrumbs and crusco pepper, or served with typical meats and cheeses. A symbol of Lucanian peasant cuisine, they represent not only an excellent gastronomic product, but also an identifying element of the territory. In the package, they come as crunchy ready-cooked pieces in a 25-gram package. They have a very fragrant, extremely thin skin and are highly digestible.
