Hot Pepper Spread Masseria Mirogallo

Hot Pepper Spread Masseria Mirogallo

A Bold, Sun-Drenched Fusion of Sweet and Heat.

Awaken your palate with the vibrant Hot Pepper Spread (crema di peperoncino) from Masseria Mirogallo. Crafted in the heart of Basilicata, Italy, this spread captivates immediately with its brilliant orange-red hue and a complex aroma reminiscent of sweet paprika and sun-ripened tomatoes. By blending the region's famous heirloom Peperoni di Senise with the fiery kick of local Diavolicchi peppers, the Belfiore family has created a thick, delicate paste that perfectly balances bell pepper sweetness with a spirited Southern Italian finish.

Why You’ll Love It

Perfectly Ripe Harvest: To ensure maximum flavor and complexity, the peppers are harvested in late summer and fall, specifically waiting a few days past peak ripeness before they are processed.

Masterful Blending: This spread leads with the fruity, deep notes of the Senise pepper, followed by a slow-building heat from the "little devil" (Diavolicchi) peppers.

Artisanal Texture: After a light blanching to soften the skins, the peppers are puréed with the Mirogallo farm’s own extra virgin olive oil, resulting in a smooth, luxurious consistency.

Versatile Flavor Booster: A versatile staple for the spicy-food lover—stir it into pasta sauces, spread it on crusty bread, or use it as a bold base for marinades and grilled vegetables.
