Zero Branco bell pepper

Zero Branco bell pepper is a local horticultural variety distinguished by its bright color (red, yellow or green), thin skin and fleshy, sweet flesh. Grown in the fertile soils of the Treviso plains, this bell pepper is the result of artisanal selections made by generations of local farmers who have maintained and passed down sustainable seeds and growing methods. Harvesting takes place in the summer and fall months, when the fruit reaches full maturity. In cooking it is extremely versatile: it is eaten raw, roasted, grilled, stuffed or in sauces. Its sweetness and digestibility make it especially appreciated even by children and people sensitive to strong flavors. In recent years, the Zero Branco bell pepper has been the subject of gastronomic enhancement initiatives, with events and tastings promoting its rediscovery within quality Treviso cuisine.
