Calabrian Chili Peppers in Vinegar, Specialty Imported Food, 17.5 Ounce, Pack of 1

These Calabrian chili peppers are absolutely delicious. They have the perfect balance of heat, tanginess, and rich flavor without being overwhelmingly spicy. They’re fantastic on pizza, sandwiches, pasta, burgers, and just about anything that could use a little kick. The peppers are fresh, high quality, and packed with flavor. I’ll definitely be buying these again. Highly recommended.

I fell in love with Calabrian peppers when I made a walnut pesto recipe that called for them. The flavor is complex, fruity, and a little bit smoky. The heat sneaks up on you, because it seems to hit your throat before your lips or tongue warn you what is coming, but there is a big load of flavor traveling with the spiciness. What I didn't love was paying almost $9 for less than 7 ounces of peppers in oil at my supermarket. So I tried Amazon. It turned out that prices weren't much better here unless I bought very large quantities. These Roland peppers were easily the best value -- but they were packed in vinegar. I was worried they wouldn't be a suitable replacement for the oil-packed peppers. After reading the comments, I decided to follow the advice to drain the peppers and repack them in oil. After a couple weeks in a cupboard, the peppers were even better than the oil-packed peppers from the market, because I used all olive oil instead of the blend of sunflower and olive oils in the market version. I usually dice them very finely so the heat and flavor are distributed through a dish. A favorite use is in pizza sauce for homemade pizza. A big bonus is the now-flavored oil that let's me easily add Calabrian pepper flavor to any dish that I think will benefit from it. I only have one teaspoon to clean up rather than a knife and cutting board.

I was surprised at how hot these peppers are. I’ve had other Calabrian peppers and these ones are blazing. Pretty much just packed in vinegar, so I read the review about removing the vinegar and adding olive oil instead. I did that and now they are tolerable and have a different flavor profile that I find much easier to deal with. But wow! Gotta love Calabrian peppers🌶️

This is great. The heat is perfect and leaves the perfect slow and low burn. I like them out of the jar with the seeds all soft and tasty but often the skin just doesn’t chew well … if you don’t like that. However, I mostly put them on a nice Italian dish that has a nice substance to it where the peppers land perfectly. I show this photo of a cauliflower crust spinach and artichoke pizza with tofu, the peppers, and a drizzle of green jalapeño sauce. Yum.

This is the best deal you'll find online for real calabrian chiles. Most others are packed in oil and will give you a lot less for your money. I buy this pack and then drain the vinegar and save it in a bottle to make marinades and dressings. Then I put the drained chiles into a mason jar and fill with olive oil. Within a few days the olive oil will take on the flavor of the chiles and is a WONDERFUL drizzle for pizzas and pastas when you want to kick up the heat just a little but don't want the full punch of diced chiles. The chiles themselves are fantastic - we love them in just about anything, but especially in a cioppino or diced in panini. Watch out though - they have some heat along with their wonderful flavor.

We were addicted in love with these peppers 🌶 made Everyone try them and put them on EVERYTHING. A pack did good to last a few days around here. Order many. This last batch seems like a completely different pepper flavor is completely different they are 3x as long as they’ve always been. We still have the same small pack no one will eat them. Most culinary disappointing thing my family has faced since 1991.

Love the product, but came damaged and leaked on other items in the shipping bag. So far I can not get a refund nor a replacement. Won't be purchasing these pepers from Amazon again.😕

These are my favorite calabrian peppers so far -- the others in oil, made into paste, etc. aren't as good in my opinion - could be the oil is going rancid or poor quality oil but while they have heat, the flavor is put off by the oil quality. These peppers are packed in vinegar - they have good texture, flavor, heat, and the vinegar gives it an extra zing. Excellent -- only wish they packed it in a glass jar to avoid the plastic. I do pack it into glass as soon as it arrives. Highly recommend!
