Originating from the sun-drenched region of Calabria in Southern Italy, these vibrant red chilli peppers are celebrated for their bold, smoky, and slightly fruity flavour with a moderate to high level of heat. Dried to perfection, they retain their intense aroma and rich, complex taste, making them a versatile ingredient in a variety of culinary traditions. With a Scoville rating ranging from 15,000 to 30,000, Calabrian dried chillies offer a balanced heat that enhances dishes without overwhelming them.
