Masseria Mirogallo Hot Pepper Jam (Confettura di Peperoncino) is a bold Southern Italian preserve from Basilicata, crafted by the Belfiore family using peppers grown and harvested on their own estate. Known for their farm-to-jar approach, the family transforms local ingredients into traditional products with minimal processing and no unnecessary additives.
This jam is made with Diavolicchi peppers, a local variety known for its intense heat and vibrant flavor. The freshly picked peppers are crushed and slowly cooked with sugar and a touch of lemon juice, then carefully strained to create a smooth, thick, and refined consistency.
The result is a striking balance of heat and sweetness, a classic combination in Southern Italian cuisine that enhances both savory and sweet dishes.
