Thiscrema di peperoncinoimmediately delights with itsgorgeous bright orange-red colorand incredible aroma of sweet paprika and ripe tomato.Primarily made with a local variety of sweet pepper,Peperoni di Senise(the same peppers that are used to makeCruschiandPepper Composta),this Hot Pepper Spreads flavor is bell pepper-forward, with a southern Italian spicy finishthanks to the small addition of super-hotDiavolicchi Peppers.

Throughout late summer and fall, the sweet and hot peppers are harvested a few days after they are perfectly ripe to ensure their flavor and complexity. Once seeded, they are lightly blanched in acidulated water for a few minutes to soften them.The peppers are then put through a food processor with the Belfiore family\’s own extra virgin olive oil to create this thick, yet delicate smooth paste.

This Hot Pepper Spread helps highlight the flavor of many dishes.
