Crispino Calabrian Chilli Pepper Purée is a fiery Italian chilli paste made with hot peppers grown in Calabria, southern Italy. Blended with sunflower oil, garlic, parsley and salt, it offers a convenient way to add chilli heat and savoury flavour to everyday cooking.

Known in Italian as peperoncini passati, meaning puréed chilli peppers, this Calabrian speciality is presented in a glass jar labelled Vulcanici, or "volcanic", reflecting its spicy character. Unlike whole or sliced preserved chillies, the puréed consistency makes it easy to stir into sauces, marinades and other dishes.

Made without added colourings, this chilli pepper paste is suitable for vegans and is gluten-free.

How to Use

Stir a small amount into tomato pasta sauces, soups or stews to add chilli heat. Mix with extra virgin olive oil for a spicy dressing, or combine with garlic and herbs to make a marinade for grilled vegetables, chicken or fish.

It also works well spread thinly on pizza or focaccia, stirred into beans or added to sandwiches for an extra kick. Start with a little and adjust to your preferred level of spiciness.
