The variety belongs to the "A Corno" group of peppers, which translates as "goat's horn." The name crusco in this context is not a varietal trait, but indicates the traditional method for the Basilicata region of preparing dried crispy peppers.
The variety is included in vegetable crop catalogs as a type with conical fruit shape. Detailed morphological characteristics, including maturity dates, plant parameters, and disease resistance, are not presented in open sources.
Fruits of this type are used in cooking both fresh and for processing, in particular for drying, which corresponds to the peperone crusco preparation method.
