Calabrian Peppers are a category of peppers grown in the Italian region of Calabria, located at the toe of the boot. Enclosed by mountain ranges and situated between the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west and the Ionian Sea to the east, Calabria enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate with little rain during the summer months, which is the prime season for growing Calabrian Peppers. Many factors help to distinguish peppers grown in Calabria from their brethren grown elsewhere. If you're not located in Europe, Calabrian chiles are a prized export.
