Crafted with care in Basilicata, this Pepper Composta is made from the Belfiore family’s own heirloom Peperoni di Senise, a sweet local variety they’ve cultivated for over 20 years. Each season, the family saves seeds from their most flavorful and beautiful peppers, ensuring a consistent quality that has become a hallmark of their farm. Known for their thin, crunchy skins, these peppers are also used in Masseria Mirogallo’s famous Fried Dried Cruschi.
To create this composta di peperoni, freshly harvested green and red peppers are hand-cored, seeded, and chopped before being dipped in acidulated salted water to preserve their crunch and aroma. Once pressed and dried, the peppers are mixed with parsley, fennel seeds, and wine vinegar, then topped with the Belfiore family’s own extra virgin olive oil.
The result is a vibrant, sweet, nutty, and smoky condiment that enhances countless dishes.
Versatile and flavorful, Pepper Composta is perfect for:
Spreading on bruschetta, crostini, or panini
Using as a topping for pizza or flatbreads
Tossing with pasta like spaghetti aglio e olio or linguine with clams
Pairing with grilled meats, pork, or ribs
Adding a bold Mediterranean twist to roasted vegetables
Bold, aromatic, and authentically Italian, this Pepper Composta is a true taste of Basilicata.
