Description Made from ingredients sourced locally to the Callipo Popila farm, nduja is a speciality that originated in the town of Spilinga, but is now celebrated throughout Calabria. Fresh pork (meat and fat) is minced with Calabrian chilli peppers, salt and olive oil to form this richly-coloured spreadable salami-like paste with a fiery kick. Callipo nduja is prepared in the traditional way and contains no fillers or preservatives, consisting of 38% pork fat, 28% pork, 23% chilli, 3% salt and 8% olive oil. Nduja is traditionally used with fish and shellfish, to add extra flavour to vegetable and legume dishes, on crostini and pizza and with pasta.
