Frequently Asked Questions
What are Calabrian chilies and how spicy are they?
Calabrian chilies come from the Calabria region of Italy. They have a medium heat level (about 25,000-40,000 Scoville units) with a fruity, slightly smoky flavor that adds complexity beyond just spiciness.
Can I substitute the soppressata with another meat?
Spicy salami or pepperoni work well as substitutes. For a closer match, look for any dry-cured, spiced Italian salami with a good fat-to-meat ratio.
