Che Fico Calabrian Chili Bomba
The iconic condiment of San Francisco’s Che Fico restaurant, this Calabrian chili paste is incredible, with a pleasant texture and layered flavor that sets it apart from others we’ve tasted. Where most chili condiments have a one-note chili flavor, Che Fico’s features the fruity Calabrian chili at the forefront but also adds nuance with the additions of bright Fresno chilies, savory roasted garlic and a tangy vinegar that lingers on the palate. The juicy pulpiness of the peppers and the slick of oil is both pleasantly textural and somehow creamy and silky. The opening pop of slightly vinegary calabrian chili flavor is perfectly seasoned, but the following fade into garlic is what makes this feel appropriate for any and everything.
Ingredients: Calabrian hot chili peppers, sunflower seed oil, salt, vinegar, fresno chili, garlic

Net Weight: 9 ounces

This bold and spicy condiment comes by way of Che Fico—a buzzy rustic Italian spot in San Francisco that’s served the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and Anderson Cooper. In fact, the news anchor even has an eponymous pizza at the restaurant. The kitchen is helmed by Eleven Madison Park alum and renowned chef David Nayfeld, and the restaurant’s chili bomba is a popular addition to many of his dishes. Ideal for dolloping atop pizza like our classic Three-Cheese Pizza, stirring into pastas, brightening up braised or grilled meat dishes like our Tuscan Beef and Black pepper Stew (Peposo alla Fornacina) or smearing on a sandwich.
