BOTTLE SIZE: 90 G / 3.17 OZ
REGION: COZENZA, CALABRIA, ITALY
Crafted in Calabria, Italy, Suriano captures the intensity and simplicity of southern Italian cooking in a single jar. This traditional spread blends Calabrian peperoncino—grown in the region’s warm Mediterranean microclimate—with extra virgin olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a bold yet balanced condiment rooted in everyday Italian cuisine.
Made without preservatives or artificial additives, it’s a pure expression of Calabria’s signature flavor: vibrant, rustic, and unmistakably alive.
Tasting Notes

- Palate: Silky, lightly textured spread, gradual heat—present but not overwhelming, balanced by a natural, faint sweetness from Calabrian peppers
- Overall Style: Rustic and savory, clean, ingredient-driven, a classic Calabrian pantry staple with controlled heat
