Sweet Italian Peppers in Wine Vinegar(Peperoni Agrodolci)
On the outskirts of Vicenza, Zuccato has been packaging some of Italys most enjoyed pickled vegetables and antipasti since 1898. We think these Italian kitchen essentials are the finest in their price range.

Today one of the most popular and widely used Italian vegetables, the sweet pepper, in fact, didn't arrive in Italy until the end of the 18th century.

A popular addition to sauces, red and yellow peppers - considered the best - are also terrific preserved in wine vinegar and served as antipasti.

We think they add a colorful flourish and flavorful burst to any antipasti tray. A delicious accompaniment to spicy Italian meats and southern Italian cheeses.
