Varietal characteristics

The bell pepper grown in Piedmont belongs to the Solanaceae family and has its origins in South America. The plant grows upright, with glossy, lance-shaped green leaves that are sometimes slightly hairy, and solitary white flowers. The fruit, a hollow and fleshy berry, ripens from green to yellow or red, depending on the variety. Inside, it contains capsaicin, which in some types gives a slightly spicy taste.
Sowing takes place in greenhouses in February, while harvesting occurs between summer and autumn. The varieties we cultivate are distinguished by their sweet flavor, crunchy flesh, and great versatility in the kitchen.
