AAA - Red HOT Calabrian Italian Pepper Puree

Magic Plant Red Hot Calabrian Italian Pepper Puree

The Heart of Italian Spice—Smoky, Savory Heat with a Rich Mediterranean Aroma.

Overview

Our natural Red Hot Calabrian Italian Pepper Puree packs a punchy, medium-high heat, averaging between 100,000 and 180,000 (SHUs). While standard Calabrian peppers are known for approachable warmth, our "Red Hot" selection is curated for those who want a more significant sting. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex smoky and salty flavor! Our fermented puree is spicy and aromatic, so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the flavor is bold and tangy, so start with a small taste test to gauge your perfect heat level.

The Calabrian pepper is the agricultural calling card of the Calabria region in Italy, celebrated for its unique balance of spice and sweetness. Intense Flavor and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, these vibrant red peppers are known for their conical shape and firm, waxy skin. The fermentation process transforms them into a thick, savory puree that captures the essence of the Italian coastline in every drop.

The Experience

Red Hot Calabrian Peppers are the secret ingredient behind the world’s most famous spicy Italian dishes! So why eat it? Like most chili peppers, in certain amounts the sensation can be quite pleasing and causes the release of endorphins in the brain, which make you feel pleasure. Studies suggest that Capsaicin may have certain health benefits, such as pain relief, improved digestion, and potential metabolism-boosting effects. Enjoy the complex, salty-smoky flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' Italian purees. Use our premium quality chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This puree is perfect in moderate doses for a specific aromatic kick in pasta sauces, pizzas, and seafood. For an authentic "Arrabbiata" style, just add more directly to the pan!

Looking for a Custom Blend?

Balance the Bite: If you want the smoky Italian flavor but need to dial back the intensity, you can mix our Red Hot Calabrian Puree with our Sweet Calabrian Pepper Puree or our Red Poblano Mulato Pepper. This allows you to retain that signature Mediterranean aroma while customizing the heat to suit a wider range of palates.
