Chillies are thousands of years old and have their roots in South America (mainly Peru and Mexico), where they were used by the natives as a spice and condiment to give flavour to dishes. They were brought to Europe by Christopher Columbus in 1493 on his return from America.
Piedmontese stuffed hot peppers are a delicacy that is hard to say no to. The filling can be made with various ingredients, the most typical being tuna or anchovies and olives. They are a traditional preserve prepared in the summer when chillies are ripe and easy to find.
The recipe for these chillies is very easy to prepare and they are perfect as an appetiser or for a special homemade aperitif.
Small, round, spicy, one bite at a time, piedmontese stuffed chillies are a real treat, great for bringing all the flavour and aroma of summer to the table, in all seasons. This is a traditional preserve that was once prepared along the salt route, which led from Liguria to the areas of northern Piedmont. The filling is soft and tasty, wrapped in a slightly spicy casing with a pleasantly acidic aftertaste.

Production area
Castelnuovo Calcea (also called Castelneuv Brusà which means burning castle in Piedmontese) is a very small Italian municipality of only 726 inhabitants in the province of Asti in Piedmont. It is situated on the hills between the Tiglione and Nizza streams, 23 km from Asti and about 9 km from Nizza Monferrato. It has become famous for being the birthplace of the poet Angelo Brofferio in 1802.
Some sources show that Castelnuovo Calcea is a village with very ancient origins. The first inhabitants were the Liguri Statielli, followed by the Celts and the Gauls. The place name is of Roman origin and derives from the union between the name Castrum Novum and that ad calcarias, which is certainly due to the presence of the nearby Roman road that often required backfilling. After the Roman domination, first the Lombards and then the Franks settled here. According to tradition, the original nucleus of the village, which was located on the hill that now houses the cemetery, was burnt down by Frederick Barbarossa. It was later rebuilt in its present location and in the 14th century became a possession of the Guttuari family from Asti. Finally, in the 18th century it changed hands; the Savoys lost control and the village became part of the Duchy of Milan.
