Description
Ruote di Fuoco, Calabrian chili pieces in oil.
The name means wheels of fire. The chili peppers are grown in Calabria, picked when ripe, dried and cut into pieces, then preserved in oil. Chili makes up 52% of the jar, together with sunflower oil, extra virgin olive oil, salt, oregano, garlic and citric acid as acidity regulator. Rosso di Calabria describes the heat as decisive and balanced.
For restaurants and chefs. The pieces hold their shape in the pan, so the chili shows on the plate as well as in the taste. Spoon them into a tomato sauce for penne all’arrabbiata, sauté them with garlic and anchovies for a quick spaghetti, or scatter them over pizza, grilled vegetables and bean soups. Kept on the line next to the olive oil, a jar replaces the slicing of fresh chili during a busy service.
For specialty and Italian stores. Chili pieces visible through the glass make this jar easy to read for customers who buy on sight. It reaches the same shoppers who pick up chili oil and ‘nduja, and it fits a Calabrian bundle with dried pasta and passata. The origin story, chili grown and processed in Calabria, supports a price above mass-market chili flakes.
Specs: 180 g, case of 12, shelf life 24 months, vegan, Calabria (Italy).
