Celebrated for its long-standing role in Italian cuisine, the Peperoncino chilli has a culinary history dating back to 1694. Traditionally featured in dishes like Salsa alla Spagnola, it complements ingredients such as tomatoes, onions, and olive oil. Its slender, ribbed pods mature from green to a vibrant red, delivering a mild heat and sweet capsicum flavour that make it perfect for pickling and everyday cooking.
