Chilli Pepper Jam

Bella mia is not just an exclamation, it's a way of looking at life, of living it, of savouring it, without haste, admiring its beauty, and that's where the Chilli Pepper Jam is born.

Chilli Pepper Jam

is a typical preparation from the south, where chilli pepper is a staple and local gastronomy makes ample use of it in countless recipes. It is made with sweet chilli peppers with no added preservatives. Bella Mia jams are like the ones grandmothers used to make: a sweet caress that accompanies our moments at the table. So let's stop and savour simplicity, genuineness and beauty. The Sicilian chilli pepper jam is an artisanal product with a bold character and a balanced flavour between sweetness and spiciness. Made with red chilli peppers grown under the Sicilian sun, cane sugar and lemon juice, this jam releases intense, natural aromas, with no artificial preservatives or colourings. The slow, low-temperature processing allows all the properties and authentic taste of the chilli peppers to be preserved, offering a high-quality product. How should it be stored? Store in a cool, dry place away from light and heat. The uses can really be so many: to flavour a pizza, a first course, pair it with a creamy cheese or ricotta, prepare canapés with a sweet and slightly spicy note at the same time, spread on a crouton accompanied by a soft, fresh cheese and a drop of honey. How to use chilli pepper jam:

• Aged or blue-veined cheeses: perfect with pecorino, parmesan, gorgonzola or fresh goat cheeses. The contrast between spiciness and savouriness enhances both.

• Roasted meats and boiled meats: excellent as an accompanying sauce for white and red meats, especially roasts and grilled dishes.

• Gourmet appetisers: to be served on croutons, bruschette or with savoury canapés, for a refined aperitif.
