Peperoni Cruschi di Senise IGP
The authentic Lucanian dried pepper, crispy like a chip after a few seconds in hot oil. Order online and receive it at home or in your restaurant throughout Switzerland.
The pepper that gets crunchy
The Peperone Crusco di Senise is the dried pepper symbol of Basilicata: thin pulp and very little water, sun-dried in the traditional necklaces called serte. A few seconds in very hot extra virgin olive oil and it becomes the famous crusco, crispy, sweet and not spicy at all.
Cultivated in the IGP area around Senise, in the province of Potenza, it obtained the Protected Geographical Indication in 1996. It is the soul of dishes such as baccalà alla lucana, pasta con la mollica and a thousand gourmet toppings. On LAPA you can find the real Peperone Crusco di Senise IGP, ready to fry.
Crunchy like a chip, sweet and never spicy
Once dried, the thin flesh of the Peperone di Senise IGP becomes perfectly crispy when fried. Just a few seconds at around 170 degrees, drain immediately and it is ready: any longer and it burns and turns bitter. Only one ingredient, 100% Peperoni di Senise IGP, with no preservatives.
