Friscous Crusco

The crunchy taste of the South, in a living crumble.

From Salento to Basilicata, two traditions meet.
Friscous® Crusco is born from our live sourdough starter combined with flakes of Senise IGP Crusco pepper, a precious and distinctive ingredient known for its natural sweetness and unmistakable texture.
Briefly fried for just a few seconds and then subjected to a rapid thermal shock, the crusco pepper preserves all its crunchiness and fragrance, becoming an explosion of flavor that makes every dish unique.
