Try it in the kitchen
Roast red and yellow corno di toro peppers together and serve them with olive oil. Their long shape also makes an attractive contrast with the blockier Quadrato d’Asti pepper.
Zafarana Roggianese and Buttunazzo Roggianese are regional ecotypes of the corno-di-toro type, suited to drying and grinding. Use sweet and/or hot ground Zafarana with anchovies.
Shape and variety
Look for the corno di toro name and the red or yellow variety. The name describes a pepper type; it does not alone certify a regional origin.
