From the sun-drenched gardens of Calabria come these divine cherry peppers! Intensely flavorful and spicy, these cherry peppers are naturally preserved in olive oil, salt and vinegar. Italian chili peppers have a uniquely delicate, yet penetrating flavor.
Use these flavorful and versatile peppers as an antipasto or as a snack to offer with appetizers. Try using them as a garnish for meat and fish dishes or even as a tasty side dish. They are also delicious with seasoned cheeses, or try them served on toasted bread. When you have finished these tasty chilis, don't throw away the oil. Use the leftover oil to flavor meat or fish.

Comments about Hot Calabrian Peppers with Extra Virgin Olive Oil:

I am wondering if this product is meant to be set somewhere in the kitchen and just look pretty. I've eaten a lot of peppers in my life and never found one where the seeds inside are absolutely impossible to chew. Since they're so small it's messy to get the stem off and remove the seeds with knife and fork.
There's just too many jars of peppers around to choose these to deal with.

Comments about Hot Calabrian Peppers with Extra Virgin Olive Oil:

Italian chile peppers have a unique taste that is less harsh than others, complements other foods without overwhelming, and with just the right zing....without punishing heat. I typically dice two peppers into an entree for 4...and enjoy snacking on one while I'm dicing.
