Are you ready for some challenge ? Italian cuisine is not incredibly spicy because in ancient times the pepper was a rare and expensive spice. But after Cristoforo Colombo discovered the Americas things started to change and the chili made its appearance in many traditional recipes. In the south of italy it was particularly appreciated and was also selected in order to breed spicier plants. This product is the result of hundred of years of love for spicy foods. You can use it over sandwhiches like giardiniera or you can mix it with a red sauces to add flavour to boiled meats or potatoes. Keep the oil level above the chilis and keep it refrigerated in order to maintain the flavour. |
