Smoked Crusco Pepper
The best bread in the world. With the most ancient flavor of Basilicata.
Flour. Water. Sourdough. Crusco pepper.
Four ingredients. The fourth changes everything.
The Crusco pepper is sun-dried in Basilicata, then fried until it becomes crispy and crumbly. Sweet, smoky, deep. It’s unlike any other pepper in the world. We Lucanians put it on everything — on pasta, on bread, on eggs. For centuries.
Smoky Crusco brings that flavor into the dough of Matera Bread. Not on the surface. Not as a condiment. Inside every cube, along with the air pockets of natural leavening and the irresistible crunch.
The result is something you've never tasted before. Sweet and smoky at the first bite. Crunchy until the last.
Open the pack. Close your eyes. You are in Basilicata.
