Diavolicchio Calabrese is a classic Italian chilli from Calabria, a region famous for its love of hot peppers. The name Diavolicchio translates approximately as ‘little devil’, an appropriate description for these small but fiery fruits. It may also be encountered as Diavolicchio di Calabria or Calabrian Diavolicchio.
The productive plants develop numerous slender peppers that mature to a rich red. The pods have a strong, clean heat and excellent flavour and are traditionally used fresh or dried in pasta dishes, sauces, chilli oils and numerous Calabrian specialities. They are particularly good for drying and crushing into chilli flakes.
