For this reason, the Calabrian esplanade is one of the tastiest and most appreciated specialities of Calabrian gastronomy and it’s characterized by the presence of that hot pepper which even the well-known philosopher and theologian Tommaso Campanella speaks of in his work on dietetics and medicine “Medicinalium” of 1635.

So many stories about the spicy Southern Italian sausage paste start with how to pronounce ’nduja so let clarify a couple of things. While it’s thought that the apostrophe before the ‘n’ in ’nduja indicates that the ‘n’ is barely uttered, it’s worth noting that depending on the Calabrian dialect, it’s pronounced either as ‘en’ or not at all, as if the ‘n’ is silent. than the regular salami, additionally, its spicy flavour doesn’t leave anybody indifferent. How spicy is spianata? What is nduja, how do you use ’nduja and where do you buy ’nduja? Here’s our guide to Calabria’s spicy spreadable pork paste that is so beloved in its birthplace of Spilinga that they even have an annual Festival del ’Nduja or Festival of the Spicy Sausage Paste. This is the first post in a new ’nduja recipes series. My notebook from our guidebook research trip has a note beside a list of Calabrian specialties that ’nduja had been pronounced ‘dooj-ah’ by the woman I chatted to at a stall selling ‘salumi Calabrese’ – cured meats, sausages (salsiccia) and salami such as soppressata di Calabria, all handmade locally – at a morning market in seaside Diamante. Why Is Everyone Talking About ’Nduja Again? The slices in the classic version of this cured meat have perfect homogeneity, which is especially noticeable in the cut, and is the result of a superb maturation procedure.Over the next few weeks – or as long as our precious Calabrian sausage paste lasts! – Terence is going to be sharing some of our favourite ’nduja recipes.

Spilinga is not far from the more atmospheric hilltop town of Nicotera, where we stayed in an elegant albeit empty former palace (we were there off-season) with gorgeous gardens and sweeping views of the countryside out to sea, and headed down to the livelier beachside lower town of Marina di Nicotera, in the foothills, for dinner.

It certainly would have been possible to find ’nduja in Italian delicatessens in the Calabrian diasporas in Europe, USA, South America, and Australia – of the many millions of Italians who emigrated from the 1870s to 1970s, the majority were from Southern Italy’s regions of Calabria and Sicily – however, it wasn’t yet on restaurant menus around the world. Sleepy Spilinga sits on a plateau in the Calabrian province of Vibo Valentia, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. If you imagine Italy’s boot-shaped peninsula, Spilinga sits on top of the big toe. While there are a few historic sights to see, there’s not enough to hold you here for a night. Finally, be generous with the grated Parmesan, drizzle with garlic oil and just before serving add a scattering of basil.
