Crispino Sliced Calabrian Chilli Peppers are made with hot peppers grown in Calabria, southern Italy, sliced and preserved in sunflower oil with wine vinegar and salt. Ready to use, they bring a fiery chilli kick to pasta, pizza, sandwiches and everyday cooking.

Known in Italian as peperoncini tagliati, these sliced chilli peppers are made from Capsicum annuum and prepared in Calabria. The jar is labelled Esplosivi, meaning "explosive", reflecting the bold, spicy character of this Calabrian speciality.

With no added colourings, these chilli peppers are suitable for vegans and are gluten-free.

How to Enjoy

Add a few slices to pizza, focaccia or sandwiches for a spicy finish. Stir them into tomato pasta sauces, scatter over grilled vegetables or use them to add heat to beans, stews and Mediterranean-style dishes.

They also make a lively addition to an Italian antipasti platter alongside olives, cheeses and cured meats. Start with a small amount and adjust according to your preference for chilli heat.
