  • Papaccella Napoletana (Capsicum annuum): a small pepper traditionally grown in Naples, in its original red version, with a flattened, ribbed shape (it is also called curly) and a thick skin and fleshy flesh. Papaccelle Ricce, with a fresh, intense aroma, a sweet flavor, and never too spicy, grow no larger than 8-10 cm in diameter.
    In the South, they can be sown until the beginning of July, with harvesting continuing until November.

    Slow Food Presidia are an Italian excellence.

  • Papaccelle can be eaten fresh, roasted, pan-fried, or baked, stuffed with the classic filling of tuna or salted anchovies, olives, breadcrumbs, raisins, pine nuts, Piennolo tomatoes , and capers.
    Berries preserved in red wine vinegar are the main ingredient in insalata di rinforzata, a typical Neapolitan Christmas dish.
