Chopped Calabrian Peppers – Peperoncino Piccante Tagliato

These chopped Calabrian chilli peppers are sourced from sun-drenched fields in Calabria, Italy, a region known for its bold, spicy peppers. With a fiery heat, mild smokiness, and natural fruitiness, they add depth and intensity to a wide range of dishes.

Pre-chopped for ease of use, they are ideal for adding instant spice and flavour. The infused oil enhances their versatility, making it perfect for drizzling over dishes or dipping with crusty bread. These peppers are also fantastic when placed in a bowl on tables in a pizzeria, allowing diners to customise their pizza with authentic Calabrian heat.
