Agridis Velvety Pumpkin is the softer, comforting side of Campanian pumpkin in a jar: a ready cream, with intense color and silky texture, designed to bring all the natural sweetness of the vegetable to the table in minutes. The pumpkin is slowly cooked and blended until it becomes a smooth velouté, creamy yet light, with essential aromas that enhance its taste without overpowering it.

It’s perfect as a base for soups and creams (just add broth and, if you like, a bit of milk or cream), for seasoning short pasta, gnocchi, or risottos, as a vegetable fondue under cheese, fish, or poached eggs, or spread on bruschetta and crostini with toasted seeds, spices, and good oil. A few spoonfuls of velvety pumpkin can also transform a simple dish of grains or legumes into something more rounded and enveloping.

Why Nero Vesuviano

We chose Agridis Velvety Pumpkin because it’s a clean, ready, and gourmet base, perfect for creating contemporary “comfort” dishes. It works wonderfully with our SEMIDRY, friarielli, papaccelle, and oils and naturally pairs with the softer Vesuvian wines, completing the pantry with an ingredient that adds sweetness, color, and depth in true Nero Vesuviano style.
