Format

Grown on a slope of the Etna volcano in a short, traceable, and transparent supply chain, our chili pepper is naturally dried and crushed into flakes, so it is always ready to enrich your dishes with a bold and aromatic touch. Its common name refers to the berry of certain spicy varieties of the Capsicum genus, used in cooking worldwide. It was already added to hot chocolate in Mesoamerican civilization and is the basis of many pre-Hispanic dishes. Today, it is an essential ingredient in the cuisines of Mexico, the Caribbean, Thailand, Peru, Chile, and Bolivia, while in Italy it is widely used for spicy sauces, grilled dishes, curry, and spice powders.

Chili pepper is rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C, carotenoids and polyphenols, which contribute to the well-being of the body. Its main active ingredient is capsaicin, the alkaloid responsible for spiciness, which aids digestion and has analgesic properties.
