For a quick burst of heat, swirl them into soups, stews, or sautéed dishes. Their rich texture makes them ideal for finishing meals just before serving.

Storage Recommendations

Keep the jar tightly sealed and stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, refrigerate the product and ensure the peppers remain fully submerged in oil to preserve freshness and flavor. Use a clean utensil each time to avoid contamination.

Additional Instructions

For a simple spicy spread, combine one tablespoon of crushed Calabrian peppers with two tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Mix well and use as a topping for bread, vegetables, or grilled foods.
