Typical Lucanian products: authentic flavors of Basilicata

Lucanian products tell an important part of Basilicata's gastronomic culture: simple flavors, recognizable ingredients, and recipes linked to family and local tradition. In this Panificio Perrone collection, you'll find some specialties that well represent the connection between the bakery, Lucanian cuisine, and local memory: from Fried Crunchy Peppers to the Immaculata Tarallo (Ficcilatidd), from Grandpa Santino Bread to Almond and Chocolate Zest.

Fried crunchy peppers are one of Basilicata's most iconic ingredients. Crunchy, fragrant, and with an intense flavor, they are used to enrich traditional dishes, accompany bread, or add character to simple preparations. The Immaculata Tarallo (Ficcilatidd) is a product deeply linked to Matera's tradition and festive occasions. Grandpa Santino Bread recalls the history of the Perrone family and a type of bread-making with a strong character, while Almond and Chocolate Zest represents one of Lucania's most beloved types of dry pastries. This collection was created for those who want to bring authentic typical Lucanian products to their table, capable of telling the story of the region through concrete and recognizable flavors.
