Naso di Cane powder is made by grinding this typical Calabrian pepper, with a rustic, bold flavor, named for the fruit's dog-nose shape.
The source pepper, Capsicum annuum, grows on a bushy, hardy plant about 50-70 cm tall, typical of Calabrian tradition.
Sowing takes place between February and March in a heated seedbed, transplanting outdoors after the last frosts.
It loves sunny spots and well-drained soil; very hardy, it withstands drought and Mediterranean climates well.
The small, pointed fruits ripen from green to deep red and are traditionally dried in the sun or air before grinding.
A hardy plant with few disease issues; avoid waterlogging regardless.
Naso di Cane powder has a medium-high heat level, around 30,000-50,000 SHU, with a rustic, bold flavor: a staple of Calabrian cuisine, perfect on cured meats and sauces.
Rich in capsaicin and vitamin C, typical of sun-dried Calabrian peppers.
