Mount Vesuvius croissant pepper 280g

The Cornetto Pepper of Vesuvius is a very typical vegetable and grows in that shape only in the Vesuvius area. It can weigh up to half a kilogram and has a unique sweetness. We find it here in a jar cut into julienne, still very fresh, and then placed in extra virgin olive oil with some wine vinegar, sea salt, and mint as a natural flavor.

Mount Vesuvius croissant pepper 280g: How is it produced

Sapori Vesuviani, Campania

If you want to experience a slice of true Neapolitan life, make yourself comfortable at Pasquale Imperato's house in Portici. You enter history, in the simplicity typical of these people who are so connected to their land that they always elevate it with the utmost respect. Pasquale's mother might serve you a typical Neapolitan coffee made with the moka pot that you won't easily forget. Pasquale Imperato is a great character of the typical regional production in Campania. A tenacious fighter who has led long campaigns to enhance local products. One achievement above all is the DOP for the Pomodorino del Piennolo del Vesuvio. Pasquale doesn't just explain his products; he declaims them as if they were poems. He loves his land so much that his eyes glow with light when he speaks of it. He narrates Vesuvius as if we were still in the glorious days of Pompeii and Herculaneum. He founded the company Sapori Vesuviani precisely to give a voice to a sometimes muted and frustrated territory that, however, hides a strength in its soul like few others. Pasquale's company produces only local rarities, such as the Vesuvian percoca peaches, Piennolo tomatoes, violet eggplants, San Pasquale zucchinis, etc. Rediscovering the values and flavors of the past is his mission. He travels miles and miles to reach the most remote places and spread the word of Vesuvius. Passion? In abundance… it is the soul and essence of his entire existence. To give value to his Pomodorino del Piennolo DOP, he created a gift package that earned him the first prize for packaging in Campania and made him a national finalist at the Oscar Green 2011 competition. When he tells you about his land, he speaks of Campania felix, the land of gardens par excellence, of Roman emperors and nobles. Here the climate is indeed mild, and the breeze is continuous and rich in saltiness. The land is then shaped by the miracle of Vesuvius and its fiery tongue that still warms the cultivated earth today. The richness of minerals in these lands is immeasurable, which is why every vegetable, every fruit has a different flavor. Pasquale has his properties right at the foot of the great active volcano. Yes, because, underneath it all, his rebellious soul remains. We have chosen all of his production because it feels like going back in time with flavors and aromas that are part of the ancient Neapolitan and Italian tradition. These are very rare products, processed with the concept of essentiality and purity of raw materials. Starting in June, we will also have the possibility to send you home the gems of the Vesuvian lands: DOP Pomodorini del Piennolo del Vesuvio, in clusters dried directly on the plant. A delicacy for all your most sumptuous pasta dishes. Yes, because remember, the tomato is one thing, but the king of kings is the Piennolo!
