FAQ
How hot are Calabrian chili peppers?
Hotter than a jalapeño, with a fruitier, rounder heat than dried red pepper flakes. Start with a small spoonful and build up.
What’s the difference between crushed, sliced, and whole?
Crushed mixes evenly into sauces and spreads. Sliced gives visible pieces for pizza and sandwiches. Whole peppers are for stuffing, garnishing, or chopping to your own size.
Can I use it instead of red pepper flakes or chili paste?
Yes. Use about 1 teaspoon in place of ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes. It adds more flavor, plus the oil carries the heat through the dish.
Do I need to refrigerate it after opening?
Yes. Refrigerate after opening, keep the peppers covered with oil, and always use a clean spoon.
Is there a larger size for restaurants?
Yes. Tutto Calabria Crushed Calabrian Chili Peppers also comes in a 33.5 oz (950 g) jar and a 98.7 oz (2.8 kg) bulk tub.
