Capuliatu Red Pesto – Secrets of Sicily

  • How Capuliatu Red Pesto is produced

    the term “Capuliatu” in Sicilian has the meaning of ground. According to tradition, this method of preserving dried tomatoes involves grinding and seasoning them with oil and parsley. In this recipe, we use our Nocellara oil, an oil with intense and balanced aromas.

  • The origin and quality of ingredients and processing

    Our Segreti di Sicilia line of preserves was born from the love for this land and its traditions, from the scents of our childhood, from our grandmother's secrets and from the rediscovery of an authentic and genuine past. Each product speaks of a specific territory, of a biodiversity that the world envies us. We choose each of them from our own crops or from our network, small and local productions and farmers who work the land with the same passion and respect as in the past. These genuine products are then transformed in our modern canning plant with the help of latest generation machinery. We use innovative cooking and preservation techniques that guarantee absolute respect for the original recipe and, at the same time, the preservation of all the organoleptic characteristics of the fresh product and its main nutritional aspects. The absence of preservatives and colorings allows you to taste a genuine product.

Further Information

Dried tomatoes are very rich in mineral salts, especially zinc, copper, calcium, phosphorus and potassium. Among the vitamins, especially those of group A and group B are included. Provitamin A, in particular, is more present in dried tomatoes than in fresh ones. And lycopene, which is preserved very well even in the dried product, together with vitamin C prevents the formation of bad cholesterol.

Capuliatu Segreti di Sicilia is a real pesto and as such can be used on crostini, spread on pizza or used to season pasta. But there are also more original and imaginative uses. For example, it can be added to bread dough to obtain more rustic and tasty loaves, or to breadcrumbs used for vegetable fillings. In small quantities, it enhances flavors and adds flavor and color without altering the original recipe.

Spaghetti with Capuliatu is a typical Sicilian recipe, a quick and tasty first course that replaces the classic "garlic and chilli oil" of which, in fact, it is a tastier version. Just let the garlic, oil and chilli sizzle in the pan, remove the garlic and add the Capuliato at the end (a spoon is enough for 4 people), diluting everything. Finally, drain the spaghetti al dente and sauté for a few minutes in the pan with the sauce. A basil leaf directly on the plate is the perfect finishing touch.

Our pistachio and almond pesto is very similar to the traditional Trapani pesto. These types of pesto are in fact widely used in Sicily but each area has its own tasty variations. Our pesto has pistachio, almonds, extra virgin olive oil, “Cosacavaddu” cheese, sugar, salt, black pepper and nutmeg as ingredients. While the classic Trapani-style Pesto is prepared with basil, almonds, red garlic, black pepper, copper tomatoes and pecorino cheese. In some variations, pistachios are also included together with almonds (or just pistachios to replace the almonds).
