Peperone di Senise

Peperone di Senise is a variety of bell pepper typical of Senise, a town in the province of Potenza. It is a cultivar of Capsicum annuum sweet, with thin pericarp and low water content. Since 1996, Senise bell pepper is recognized as a fruit and vegetable product with a protected geographical indication (PGI). It presents a pointed, hooked or truncated shape, depending on the type. It has a sweet taste and a color that varies from green to purple red, and is characterized by the size and thin pulp (1.5 to 2.2 mm). The peduncle is well welded to the berry, such as not to detach even after drying. The dry product must be presented in necklaces (called "serte") of variable length from 1.5 to 2 m. It is marketed fresh, dry and powdered.
