Crispino Calabrian Chili Peppers Sauce — The True Taste of Southern Italy’s Heat

Bold, vibrant, and unmistakably fiery, Crispino Calabrian Chili Peppers Sauce delivers the authentic heat of Southern Italy in its purest form. Made exclusively in Calabria, Italy — the homeland of the world-famous “peperoncino calabrese” — this sauce is crafted from 100% Calabrian chili peppers, blended with sun-ripened Italian tomatoes and premium extra virgin olive oil.

This is not an imitation, not a “Calabrian-style” hot sauce, and not an industrial chili paste.
This is the real Calabrian chili sauce that locals use daily in their kitchens: naturally spicy, fruity, bright, and beautifully intense.

Slowly cooked according to tradition and completely free from citric acid, concentrates, preservatives, dyes, and added sugar, this sauce reflects Famiglia Crispino’s uncompromising clean-label philosophy. Every jar brings the genuine flavor of Calabria’s hillsides — the same pepper heat that has defined regional cooking for generations.

Taycte/MySapori is one of the very few U.S. importers offering a truly authentic Calabrian chili sauce, making it a rare and premium addition to the American specialty food market.

Why It Stands Out

• Made in Calabria, Italy using true peperoncino calabrese

• Crafted from 100% Calabrian chili peppers + Italian tomatoes

• Preserved in extra virgin olive oil for rich, fruity heat

• No citric acid • No preservatives • No added sugar • No dyes

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

• Clean-label, minimal-ingredient recipe

• Award-winning producer — Famiglia Crispino (Italian Food Awards, First Place)

This is Calabria’s most iconic flavor — intense chile heat with a natural fruitiness that no other chili pepper in the world can replicate.

Why Authentic Calabrian Chili Sauce Is Rare in the U.S.

Most “Calabrian chili” products in the United States are:

• made outside Italy

• blended with seed oils or synthetic extracts

• cut with sugar or tomato paste

• acidified with citric acid

• based on generic red peppers, not real peperoncino calabrese

Crispino’s chili sauce is the true regional recipe:

• locally grown Calabrian chilies

• EVOO, tomatoes, salt — nothing else

• slow-cooked and clean-label

• produced within a 50 km radius of the Crispino home facility

This authenticity gives Taycte/MySapori exclusive positioning in the U.S. market.

How to Use

• Add heat to pasta sauces & pizza

• Stir into marinades for meats or seafood

• Mix into sautéed vegetables or grilled dishes

• Spread thinly over bruschetta or focaccia

• Use as a dip base with ricotta, burrata, or cream cheese

• Swirl into soups, stews, or chili for Southern Italian depth

Flavor profile: fruity chili heat, bright acidity from natural tomatoes, silky EVOO richness, long warm finish — pure Calabrian fire.
