Calabria, located in the toe of Italy’s “boot,” boasts a cuisine defined by bold flavors, vibrant spices, and a reliance on simple, locally sourced ingredients. Known for its abundant use of chili peppers, Calabrian food is often spicy, setting it apart from many other Italian regional cuisines. One of Calabria’s most famous products is nduja, a soft, spicy spreadable sausage made from pork and a generous amount of chili peppers. This fiery delicacy is typically spread on bread, incorporated into pasta sauces, or used to add heat and depth to various dishes. The region’s love of spice is also seen in pasta arrabbiata, a popular pasta with a hot, spicy tomato sauce.
