Spicy Red Hot Chilli Peppers from Calabria

In Italy, Spicy Red Hot Chilli Peppers are known as the la droga dei poveri, ‘the poor man’s drug’, because of their powerful taste that can flavour any food, however dull.

Spicy Red Hot Chilli Peppers also have the extra benefit of stimulating digestion and help prompt pain receptor cells to release endorphins, the chemical in your brain which promotes feelings of well-being.

Chilli Peppers are particularly popular in the south of Italy, in fact the further south you go, the more this powerful ‘drug’ is used. Our Spicy Red Hot Chilly Peppers come  from the very deep southern region of Calabria, where Chilly Peppers can often be seen hanging on long strings from people’s balconies and windows, ready to be added liberally to sauces, salamis, sausages and stews.

You can use our Spicy Red Hot Chilli Peppers in a number of Italian recipes, including Penne Arrabbiata and Spaghetti alla Puttanesca. (See our recipes section for cooking ideas).
