Description

Trader Joe's Italian Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce is a cult-favorite condiment built around fermented, crushed Calabrian chili peppers from southern Italy. "Bomba" — Italian for bomb — is a traditional Calabrian condiment made by packing crushed chili peppers in oil, and this version delivers exactly that: a chunky, oil-rich, intensely flavored chili paste with a fruity, complex heat that builds slowly and lingers.

The ingredient list is admirably short: chili peppers, sunflower seed oil, extra virgin olive oil, dried basil, salt, ascorbic acid (to preserve), and citric acid (acidifier). No fillers, no artificial flavors, no dairy. At 60 calories per 2 Tbsp serving with 6 g of fat and 190 mg of sodium, it's a concentrated condiment meant to be used by the spoonful, not the cup. The 6.7 oz jar yields about 7 servings.

Use it as a pasta sauce booster, a pizza topping, a sandwich spread, a burger condiment, or a finishing spoonful over eggs, grilled meats, or roasted vegetables. It is one of the most versatile and beloved items in the Trader Joe's lineup — a true pantry essential for heat lovers.

HIOOL GOODS sources this directly from Trader Joe's U.S. stores, packs it carefully, and ships it to your door across the U.S. and Canada — Italian heat, delivered.
