Crispino Calabrian Hot Peppers in Extra Virgin Olive Oil — Pure Heat from Southern Italy

Bold, bright, and unmistakably Calabrian, Crispino Hot Pepper Rings in Extra Virgin Olive Oil deliver the authentic fire of Southern Italy with no shortcuts and no artificial acidity. Made from 100% Calabrian-grown peperoncini, these peppers are sliced into rings and preserved only in premium extra virgin olive oil, allowing their natural heat, fruitiness, and aroma to shine.

Unlike industrial chili products that rely on citric acid, sugar, or synthetic flavor enhancers, Crispino peppers are crafted with a strict clean-label philosophy:
no acidity correctors, no preservatives, no dyes, no artificial ingredients — ever.
The result is an intensely vibrant, honest flavor that reflects the true taste of Calabria.

Taycte/MySapori is among the few U.S. distributors making authentic Calabrian peperoncino available the way it is eaten in Italy — pure, bright, simple, and preserved only in EVOO.

Why It Stands Out

  • Made in Calabria, Italy from 100% local peppers

  • Preserved exclusively in premium extra virgin olive oil

  • No citric acid, no sugar, no preservatives, no dyes

  • Naturally vegan, gluten-free, and allergen-safe

  • Clean-label, short-ingredient recipe

  • Intense heat with a fruity Calabrian pepper aroma

  • Produced within 50 km sourcing radius for true terroir expression

This is the real Calabrian peperoncino — not an imitation, not an industrial chili blend.

Why This Product Is Rare in the U.S. Market

Authentic Calabrian chilis preserved in extra virgin olive oil are extremely difficult to find in the United States. Most “Calabrian-style” chili products on U.S. shelves are:

  • made outside Italy

  • cut with seed oils

  • acidified with citric acid

  • sweetened with sugar

  • thickened with pastes or concentrates

Crispino offers the genuine version:
real Calabrian hot peppers, preserved naturally, using traditional Southern Italian methods.

For American home cooks, pizza makers, restaurants, and gourmet shops, this product brings unmatched regional authenticity.

How to Use

  • Add to pasta, pizza, risotto, or grilled vegetables

  • Spoon onto seafood or shellfish dishes for Southern Italian heat

  • Mix into marinades or dressings

  • Serve on charcuterie & antipasto boards

  • Drizzle the infused chili EVOO over roasted meats or sandwiches

Flavor profile: bright, fruity heat; soft pepper texture; clean EVOO finish; unmistakable Calabrian intensity.
