The Cunserva Mara is a unique and authentic product, a concentrate of flavor and tradition that encapsulates all the warmth and passion of Salento. This delicacy is the result of an ancient recipe passed down from generation to generation, a perfect blend of spicy chili peppers and local tomatoes, in a ratio of 65-20.
The preparation of Cunserva Mara is a long and meticulous process that requires love and patience.
It begins with boiling the chili peppers and tomatoes, which are then transformed into a sort of puree. But the process doesn’t end there.
Once dried, the puree is mixed with extra virgin olive oil, little by little, in a process that lasts no less than seven days. When the Cunserva Mara is ready, it is packaged in small glass jars, ready to be enjoyed.
The Cunserva Mara is a true treasure of Salentine cuisine. It can be spread on a slice of warm bread, added to pasta, or used to enhance any dish. Its intense and spicy flavor, yet sweet at the same time, makes it a versatile and beloved ingredient.
