Calabrian Chile

Salty, bright, and slightly acidic, the subtle heat of this chile feels more like a glow than a burn. Adds a flavorful kick to any dish without overwhelming the other tastes.

Fun Fact

These chiles are so beloved in their native land that the Calabrian city of Diamante hosts an annual week-long festival dedicated to their glory. Think Comic Con, with chiles instead of cosplay.
