| Description | Farm-grown Peperone di Senise IGP: from seed selection to drying on cloth sheets or nets in ventilated, shady rooms, air-drying in necklaces called 'serte', then reduced to flakes together with its seeds |
|---|---|
| Appearance | Deep red pepper flakes with the presence of seeds |
| Taste | Sweet, with an intense pepper aroma |
| Curiosity | Peperone di Senise IGP, originally from the Antilles, is grown in Senise in the province of Potenza and on the promontories overlooking the valley of the river Sinni and its tributary Serrapotamo. They have a low liquid content, which makes them easy to dry: first they are dried on cloths in the air, then they are threaded with string and sun-dried, gathered in necklaces called 'serte', then they have multiple uses (fried, ground or reduced to flakes) |
| Our selection | The selection and attention paid to all the processes of the supply chain, from the self-production of the seed to the drying of the Peperone di Senise IGP, to its frying to obtain the peperone crusco or its reduction to flakes or milling, led us to choose Casa Arleo, guardian of a traditional Lucanian know-how |
| Suggestions | An ideal condiment for soups, vegetables and fried eggs; try it to season pasta and beans, a bruschetta or focaccia; also fantastic with salt cod, with fresh robiola cheese, or to make a pasta with peppers and breadcrumbs; add it to minced meat for a hamburger or a great meatball dish; try it on ice cream or in a chocolate dessert |

Why we chose them
Masseria Casa Arleo is a Lucanian farm, born from Giuseppe Arleo's passion for his land. We are in Senise, in the province of Potenza, in southern
Basilicata, at the foot of the Pollino National Park.
In the 1990s, Giuseppe Arleo decided to take over the activity of Nonno Peppino, starting a cereal and livestock farm. Then, about twenty years
ago, he started cultivating the Senise pepper and fell in love with this product. Today, the Peperone di Senise IGP is one of the main products
grown by Giuseppe. Great attention is paid to the selection of the seed, which is self-produced on the farm, and to the entire supply chain, from
transplanting to harvesting, up to drying in the traditional 'serte' (a kind of necklace). Only Peperone di Senise IGP, grown and dried on the farm,
are then fried to become the renowned Peperoni Cruschi.
Since 2015, Masseria Casa Arleo has been registered in the regional list as a 'Guardian Farmer'. A project of the ALSIA - Lucanian Agency for
Agricultural Development and Innovation - to support farmers who promote biodiversity: guardian farmers cultivate ancient varieties of fruit,
vegetables or cereals, as their ancestors often did before them, preserving the environment from intensive cultivation.
In 2021 Giuseppe received the award as the best Guardian Farmer of Basilicata
