Description

The Red Pepper, which represents the distinctive note of this pecorino, is an annual plant belonging to the Solanaceae family which also includes tomatoes, aubergines, potatoes and even tobacco.

It was not originally a native plant of Europe, but was brought to the continent by Christopher Columbus after his second voyage to the New World.

What immediately distinguishes this plant is the spiciness on the palate,

this flavor depends on capsaicin, an alkaloid present in more or less high concentration depending on the species in question.

There are many varieties of chilli peppers, and above all there are more and more enthusiasts who grow or collect them,

not only because its fruits are a perfect spice to be used in cooking, but because the chili plants are also very ornamental and decorative.

In addition to the spicy taste, this alkaloid also has the property of stimulating and increasing blood flow.

It also counteracts bacterial proliferation - it is in fact also used in sausages to improve their conservation - and helps to lower cholesterol levels.

Not only that, it also promotes intestinal mobility and is a very powerful natural antioxidant.

In addition, it stimulates the metabolism by contributing to the weight loss process.

CURIOSITY'

Pecorino with chili pepper is a dairy product known and consumed also in Tuscany.

It comes from the processing of sheep's milk, as is the case with the classic Tuscan pecorino e, to which pepper is added.

Once the chili pepper has been added and the desired shape is obtained, the spicy pecorino is left to mature for a period of about 30 days.

From the studies carried out and from the reading consulted, the average life of the product is 6 months at a temperature between 0/8 ° C.

During this period the product maintains its organoleptic and microbiological characteristics stable, even if kept stable for a longer period, at least up to 8 months.
