Pizzotello Beneventano Pepper
The Pizzotello Beneventano Pepper, also known as Pizzullo Beneventano, is a traditional variety from the province of Benevento that produces elongated, conical fruits about 13 cm long, turning dark, intense red at maturity. Its thick, firm flesh makes it excellent for eating raw.
The Pizzotello Beneventano Pepper Plant
Its botanical name is Capsicum annuum, belonging to the Solanaceae family. The plant is vigorous and productive, of medium size, with well-covering foliage that protects the fruits as they develop.
It is a sweet variety, free of heat, valued for the quality and texture of its meaty flesh.
How to Sow Pizzotello Beneventano Pepper
Protected sowing takes place in February-March, while transplanting occurs in April-May, once the risk of late frosts has passed and the soil has warmed sufficiently.
How to Grow Pizzotello Beneventano Pepper
The Pizzotello Beneventano Pepper prefers fertile, well-drained soil, in a sunny position, typical of vegetable growing in Campania. Being a productive plant with fruits of considerable weight, the use of stakes or support netting is recommended.
Regular irrigation is important, especially during the fruiting phase, when the plant's water requirements increase.
Tips for Growing Pizzotello Beneventano Pepper
Harvest generally takes place from July to October in Southern Italy, once the fruits have reached their characteristic intense red color. Thanks to its meaty, firm flesh it is perfect for fresh consumption in salads, but also lends itself well to baked or oil-preserved preparations.
Diseases and Pests of the Pizzotello Beneventano Pepper
Like other pepper varieties, it can be subject to attacks by aphids and red spider mites, controllable with natural garlic or nettle macerates, and to root rot in case of prolonged waterlogging. Good soil drainage and crop rotation, avoiding repeated Solanaceae cultivation on the same plot for several consecutive years, are important preventive measures.
Properties of the Pizzotello Beneventano Pepper
The Pizzotello Beneventano Pepper is rich in vitamin C and provitamin A, with natural antioxidant properties that make it a valuable vegetable for everyday nutrition.
