TENUTA PADÌ: Cultivating with Love

A Lucanian Red Love ❤ Tenuta Padì is the guardian of the Lucanian red gold, the PGI Crusco Pepper, which we celebrate in all its forms with love and respect for our land.

THE KING OF OUR KITCHEN 👑🌶

Deep purple in color, crunchy, and with paper-thin flesh, the Crusco Pepper – “Zafaran crusk” in the Lucanian dialect – is the emblem of our gastronomic tradition.

UNCOMPROMISING QUALITY 🌟

From cultivation to processing, we personally oversee every stage. We select only seeds from plants grown in the PGI area. Transplanting and harvesting are done by hand, while drying takes place naturally in greenhouses, without the use of mechanical means.

YOU'LL FALL IN LOVE AT THE FIRST CRUNCH 😍

Only the best peppers, hand-selected and cleaned of all seeds, are immersed in our own 100% Organic extra virgin oil. The result? An excellent product, without compromise, that conquers you from the first bite.
