Traditional Calabrian Peppers & Artisan Preparation

Calabria, located at the southern tip of Italy, is famous for its intensely flavorful hot peppers and vibrant culinary traditions.

Our producer uses locally grown Calabrian peppers, including the traditional Cerasiello variety, to create a spicy spread inspired by generations of regional food preparation.

The generous pepper content gives this Italian chili paste its bold character, while olive oil, garlic, and oregano complement its natural heat.

Made in small batches without artificial flavors or preservatives, this traditional Calabrese Hot Pepper spread is a wonderful addition to an Italian pantry.

Perfect for Pasta, Pizza & Italian Antipasti

Calabrese Hot Pepper Spread is remarkably versatile. Stir a small amount into tomato sauce, toss it with freshly cooked pasta, or spread a thin layer over toasted rustic bread.

Add it to pizza, sandwiches, grilled vegetables, meat dishes, or an Italian antipasto platter for a delicious spicy accent.

It also pairs beautifully with our Spicy Sicilian Pistachio Pesto when creating flavorful Italian-inspired dishes.

Start with a small amount and adjust according to your preferred level of heat.
