Description

  • The chile pepper (or peperoncino) is celebrated in every home, usually drying in the sun of their kitchens as decoration, just waiting to be incorporated into a recipe.
  • The spicy, peppery essence of these chiles complements the deep tomato and olive oil flavors of Mediterranean cuisine perfectly.
  • We make our Crushed Red Peppers from the Capsicum frutenscens chile pepper, a small red chile with a moderate to spicy heat.
