The Grilled Papaccelle Agridis are classic Neapolitan “papaccella” peppers, meaty and fragrant, grilled and jarred with a simple seasoning. The flesh remains firm yet tender, the skin pliable, the taste full and sweet, with a slight smoky note from grilling and a touch of vinegar (if included) that cleanses the palate without overshadowing the pepper’s flavor. Perfect to open and serve directly at the table as a Mediterranean appetizer or side.

You can use them on bruschetta and freselle, on a platter with cold cuts and cheeses, inside sandwiches and focaccia, alongside white meats, roasts, grills, fresh or aged cheeses. Also great for warm potato salads, cold pasta dishes, baked pies, and rustic pizzas: just a few strips add color, sweetness, and that light hint of char that instantly evokes “home cooking.”

Why Nero Vesuviano

We chose Grilled Papaccelle Agridis because they convey a typical Neapolitan flavor in a clean, ready, and gourmet version: real pepper, noticeable grilling, balanced seasoning. They perfectly intertwine with our Monte Somma tomatoes, SEMIDRY, and Vesuvian wines from the Cantina, completing the pantry with a side dish that is bold yet elegant, in true Nero Vesuviano style.
