Description
A smooth Calabrian chili cream at 88% chili.
Cremì is made exclusively with Calabrian chili peppers, selected by hand and processed following tradition, according to Rosso di Calabria. The recipe is short: 88% hot chili pepper, extra virgin olive oil, salt, oregano, garlic, bay leaf and wild fennel, with citric acid as acidity regulator. The producer describes an intense aroma, balanced heat and a velvety texture.
For restaurants and chefs. A spreadable chili cream works where chopped chili would be too coarse. Blend it into mayonnaise or ricotta for a spicy dip, swirl it into soups and bean dishes, spread it under burrata on bruschetta, or brush it on grilled meat just before serving. On a cheese board it gives a sharp contrast to aged pecorino and caciocavallo, and it dissolves into sauces and marinades without leaving pieces.
For specialty and Italian stores. The cream is the most versatile jar of the Rosso di Calabria chili range and the simplest to demonstrate: a spoonful on bread is enough for a tasting at the counter. It suits customers looking for a gift from Calabria, next to taralli, olive oil and cheese. The short ingredient list, with citric acid as the only additive, speaks to shoppers who read labels.
