Extremely suitable for drying, its name comes from the sciuscelle (carobs. In dialect). The Serpentino - Spicy pepper. Suitable for fresh, dry or processed consumption. Its name comes from its resemblance to a small snake. Sciuscillone and Serpentino, dried in the air for at least 50 days, chopped and cleaned by hand.
