Masseria Mirogallo Pepper Composta is a traditional Southern Italian preserve from Basilicata, made using estate-grown peppers and time-honored techniques. The Belfiore family, behind Masseria Mirogallo, is known for its farm-to-jar philosophy, cultivating and transforming its own produce without additives or industrial processing.
This composta is made primarily with Peperoni di Senise, a prized local pepper variety known for its natural sweetness and depth of flavor. Harvested at peak ripeness, the peppers are carefully prepared and cooked down into a rich, smooth preserve, creating a concentrated expression of the ingredient.
Unlike fresh pepper spreads, a composta has a slightly more developed, rounded flavor due to the cooking process, resulting in a balance of sweetness and gentle acidity.
