Fiammanti Whole Calabrian Chili Peppers — True Calabrian Heat, Now in the USA

Bold, vibrant, and unmistakably Southern Italian, Crispino Fiammanti Whole Calabrian Chili Peppers deliver the pure, fiery character that defines Calabria’s cuisine. Hand-harvested in the region’s sun-soaked hills and preserved in premium extra virgin olive oil, they offer clean, intense heat without acidity correctors, citric acid, preservatives, dyes, or artificial additives.

These chilis are 100% Calabrian-grown, sourced within 50 km of the Crispino family’s production site, and crafted using traditional methods that preserve Calabria’s unmistakable terroir. Recognized with First Place at the Italian Food Awards, Fiammanti peppers stand as one of the most authentic Calabrian chili products exported today.

Taycte/MySapori is proud to bring these award-winning peppers to the U.S. market, offering American home cooks, pizzerias, and restaurants a chance to experience the real heat of Calabria—not industrial chili pastes or imitation “Calabrian-style” products.

Why They Stand Out

• 100% Italian & Calabrian-grown

• Preserved in extra virgin olive oil (never seed oils or brines)

• No acidity correctors, no artificial additives, no preservatives

• Naturally vegan, gluten-free, allergen-safe

• Short, transparent ingredient list

• Award-winning — Italian Food Awards, First Place

These peppers express the true intensity, fruitiness, and lingering warmth of the peperoncino Calabrese—a defining ingredient in Southern Italian cooking.

Why This Product Matters in the U.S.

Calabrian chili products are frequently imitated but rarely produced with true regional integrity.
Crispino Fiammanti peppers offer:

• Authentic Calabrian heat

• Clean-label purity (no citric acid, no sugar, no acidity correctors)

• Terroir-specific sourcing

• A flavor profile that American chefs cannot replicate with generic chili oils or pastes

For pizzerias, specialty markets, gourmet shops, restaurants, and home cooks, this is the most direct path to real Calabrian chili flavor.

How to Use

• Add whole chilis or sliced rounds to pizza, pasta, and sauces

• Infuse EVOO or butter for a spicy finishing oil

• Elevate grilled vegetables, seafood, or roasted meats

• Serve with charcuterie or antipasto

• Incorporate into marinades for smoky, Southern Italian depth

Flavor profile: bright, fruity heat; natural chili sweetness; long, clean finish from EVOO; unmistakable Calabrian aroma.
