They also call it the square pepper and indeed its shape resembles it a lot. A medium-sized pepper with an excellent consistency and a significant thickness of 10 mm. This is a product with a long history, first found in 1915. It comes from a virtuous cross between a small indigenous pepper and the famous square pepper from Nocera. Today, after mass selection and a restriction of the territories for production, the province of Cuneo has established a Consortium for Protection and the PAT (Traditional Agri-food Product) certification. It is indeed a vegetable that finds an excellent habitat in soils with good grain and highly draining with an important superficial organic composition. Here, the Val Varaita gives its best. Moreover, it does not like high humidity conditions, which are impossible in the valley.
These typical peppers from Cuneo are a variety that has all the characteristics of the sweetest peppers for preparations such as pickles, Sicilian caponata, and pepper stew with white onions, which highlight their specific qualities. First of all, the fact that they are so flavorful and fragrant. Then, their meaty consistency is one of the main qualities. They are excellent for Sicilian pepper stews. Great for being placed in jars with extra virgin olive oil. We also recommend them cut into julienne and served in a nice summer salad with tomatoes and lettuce. Additionally, they are special when stuffed with meat, breadcrumbs, and tomatoes. Cuneo peppers are ideal for making delicious pepper dishes. For those who have tolerance issues with the skin, we recommend removing it by blanching the peppers in boiling water for two to three minutes and then transferring them to cold water. The skin comes off very easily.
