| Description | Farm-grown Peperone di Senise IGP: from seed selection to drying on cloth sheets or nets in ventilated, shady rooms, to air-drying in necklaces known as 'serte', then reduced to powder by grinding |
|---|---|
| Appearance | Peperone di Senise IGP powder or paprika, also called 'zafàrano' in dialect because of its similarity in colour |

| Curiosity | In the past, 80% of the production of Peperone di Senise IGP was processed into powder and used as a natural preservative for cured meats. Now 80% of the variety is sold in the 'crusco' version |
| 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 |

Casa Arleo - Senise (PZ) - Basilicata
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
