Altomonte's Taralli Crusco Pepper 200g

The Snack That Southern Italy Has Been Keeping Secret

Meet Peperone Crusco — the sun-dried, slow-roasted sweet pepper of Basilicata that UNESCO recognized as part of Italy’s intangible cultural heritage. Woven into these traditional ring-shaped taralli, it delivers a flavor unlike anything else: subtly smoky, gently sweet, deeply savory, and completely addictive.

How to Enjoy Them

• Antipasti boards: The standout cracker alongside aged pecorino, nduja, and olives
• Wine & aperitivo: Pairs beautifully with Aglianico, Primitivo, or a Campari spritz
• Cheese pairings: Try with sharp provolone or smoked scamorza for a Basilicata-inspired bite
• Straight from the bag: Honestly, they rarely make it to the board

Why Crusco Pepper?

Peperone Crusco is the defining ingredient of Basilicata’s cuisine — rare, prized, and impossible to replicate with any other pepper. These taralli are your introduction to one of Italy’s most underrated culinary traditions. Shelf-stable, beautifully packaged, and perfect for gift boxes. 200g.
