The sweet and smoky flavor of peperoncino (spicy pepper) from Salerno has a surprising fire that is felt all over the mouth.

Fresh, brilliant crimson peppers are mashed to a coarse paste, mixed with olive oil and left to macerate for few months to develop the many layers of complex flavors. This peperoncino is the perfect ingredient and complement to many traditional dishes of Campania and Calabria, in the south of Italy.
