Calabrian Chili Pepper

Discover the bold and versatile Calabrian chili peppers, a fiery, fruity variety from Italy that can transform any dish with its smoky heat.

Available as crushed peppers in oil, they’re perfect for marinades like the Calabrian Pepper and Lemon Yogurt Baked Chicken, or for boosting soups such as the Calabrian Pepper Tomato Chicken Chowder.

These peppers shine when added to aromatics or stirred in towards the end for a flavorful finish. Explore dishes like my Calabrian Roasted Spatchcocked Chicken, and check out more recipes on my blog to spice up your meals!
