Simmering the devils into the daily meal is believed to ward off diseases. We can’t quite promise eternal life, but we can promise that the Antonio family have put their heart and souls into making the perkiest, spiciest chillis that’ll ever have tickled your tastebuds.

In Calabria, these chillis are known as diavoletti rossi, little red devils, and you’ll soon see why. Every self-respecting Calabrian porch boasts a thread of hanging devils, basking and drying in the hot Mediterranean sun.
