I absolutely love this paste, and it has quickly become an essential ingredient in my kitchen. The flavor profile is extraordinary. The Calabrian chili peppers provide a perfect balance of moderate to high heat with a hint of sweetness. This combination creates a rich, complex taste that enhances any dish.

I've used it in pasta dishes, salad dressings, marinades, and even spread on bread for sandwiches. It adds a delightful kick to everything.

If you enjoy using smoked paprika in your cooking, you'll likely find this paste to be a fantastic addition to your pantry. While the price might seem a bit high, the jar lasts a long time, making it a worthwhile investment. The intense yet balanced flavor, combined with its numerous uses, ensures that this Calabrian Chili Pepper Paste will become a beloved staple in your kitchen.

Great for sauce

Whatever "mild" means to the producers, it is very hot and incredibly salty. To top it all, it leaves permanent marks on plastic utensils and gloves. The gloves are disposable, but the white spatula I used is now colored and nothing can get rid of the stains. Picture attached. It went straight into the garbage can and $15 out the window.
