Calabrese peppers add the perfect amount of piquant flavor to enliven any dish. Calabria in southern Italy is world-famous for peppers, also known as pepperoncini. The region is known for both round peppers and long, thin varieties such as these.
Hot by Italian standards, their heat falls somewhere between a jalapeño and a habanero. Beautiful in shape and color, these peppers are quite versatile and can be enjoyed straight out of the jar as part of an antipasto, as an ingredient in dishes that call for some heat, or as a premium pizza topping.
Balancing spicy, fruity, smoky, and salty flavors, these complex chiles are a great addition to many Italian-themed sandwiches as well.
