The Motta Square Pepper is a traditional Piedmontese variety, grown in the Costigliole d’Asti area. Known for its square shape, thick, meaty, sweet, and highly aromatic flesh, it comes in red and yellow. It is a Slow Food Presidium that is enjoying a revival thanks to passionate farmers. It is best known as the base for classic stuffed peppers, prepared with chopped tuna, anchovies, capers, and mayonnaise, an iconic regional dish, such as the one made famous by chef Lidia Alciati.
