Hand-dried and left on their stems, TUTTOCALABRIA’s Peperoncini Calabresi Secchi capture the bright, savory heat typical of Calabria.

How do I use these dried Calabrian chilies in everyday cooking?

Use the dried chilies whole to infuse oils or broken into flakes for finishing. They’re strong—start with one or two for sauces, slow-cooked dishes, or soups and increase to taste. Toasting them briefly in a dry pan amplifies their aroma before adding to recipes.

• Infuse extra-virgin olive oil for a spicy finishing oil.
• Add to simmering tomato sauces, stews, or braises for layered heat.
• Rehydrate briefly for stuffing or chopping into condiments like chili crisp.
• Toast and grind to make fresh chili flakes or powder.

What flavor and heat level should I expect from Peperoncini Calabresi Secchi?

These peppers deliver a bright, fruity heat with smoky undertones rather than flat bitterness. They vary in intensity by pepper, so the overall experience blends mid-high spiciness with aromatic fruit notes that complement savory dishes. Their dried texture concentrates flavor, so a little goes a long way.

• Fruity, slightly smoky aroma with concentrated chili flavor.
• Moderate-to-high heat—adjust quantity to taste.
• Dried-on-stem form preserves essential oils and aroma.

How do I store and prepare them safely for best results?

Keep the peppers in a cool, dry, airtight container away from direct light to preserve flavor and color. When handling, avoid touching your face, and wash hands after contact; use gloves if you plan to crush many peppers. To maximize freshness, use within several months after opening.

• Store in an airtight jar or resealable bag in a pantry or cupboard.
• Use gloves or wash hands after handling to avoid skin/eye irritation.
• Lightly crush or toast before use to release oils and deepen flavor.

Can these chilies be used to make homemade chili crisp or chili oil?

Yes—these dried Calabrian chilies are excellent for crafting chili crisp, chili oil, or spicy condiments because of their concentrated flavor and on-stem drying. Chop or crush them and gently steep in warm oil, or fry briefly with aromatics and crisped bits for texture. Adjust oil temperature and cook time to avoid burning and preserve aromatic notes.

• Steep whole or chopped chilies in warm oil for infused chili oil.
• Fry briefly with garlic and shallots for homemade chili crisp texture.
• Grind into flakes for shelf-stable spice blends and seasonings.
