Crushed Chili Pepper Dispenser 400 g (Carton of 6) — Pavone

Crushed Chili Pepper in a Professional Dispenser

Pavone crushed chili pepper comes in a 400 g cardboard dispenser with a freshness-saving dosing cap, sold by LAPA in cartons of 6 pieces. Dried chili flakes with seeds deliver controlled, visible heat on pizza, pasta, grilled meats and infused oils: one calibrated sprinkle directly from the dispenser, with no need to open the container. It is part of the Aromi dal Mondo line for the HORECA channel, packed in FSC-certified cardboard, with a shelf life of 24 months.

What Is Crushed Chili Pepper

Crushed chili (peperoncino frantumato) is dried red chili broken into coarse flakes, seeds included. Compared with chili powder, the flakes release their essential oils at the moment they hit the hot dish, so the aroma is fresher and the heat easier to judge by eye. Compared with whole pods, the crushed cut distributes evenly and needs no knife work during service.

It is the standard heat format of the Italian professional kitchen: the dispenser on the pass, the pizzaiolo's counter and the table-side condiment set all rely on this cut.

The Pavone Brand: the Garuti Family Since 1955

Pavone is the spice brand of the Garuti family. Founder Marino Garuti started in 1955 by packing sugar sachets and bicarbonate by hand and delivering them by bicycle around Rome. In the 1980s the second generation invested in automated packing lines; in the 2000s the third generation turned the business into a true packaging plant, F.lli Garuti Srl, based in Rome, which today serves over 1,500 trade customers between grocers and wholesalers.

The company is ISO 9001 certified since 2021, holds organic certification for its bio range and has moved its dispenser line to 100 percent recyclable FSC-certified packaging.

Sensory Profile and Cut

Coarse red flakes with visible seeds, intense spicy-fruity aroma and a direct, clean heat. The freshness-saving cap limits air exchange, so colour and pungency stay stable through months of daily service. The 400 g professional format covers weeks of service in a busy pizzeria or trattoria.

Professional Uses in the Kitchen

Penne all'arrabbiata: bloom a generous pinch of flakes in extra virgin olive oil with garlic before adding the tomato. Spaghetti aglio olio e peperoncino: the Roman classic where the flakes are one of only three ingredients. Pizza diavola: sprinkle over spicy salami before or after the oven, by taste. Grilled and roasted meats: rub with salt and dried herbs. Chili-infused oil for table service: steep flakes in warm extra virgin olive oil and let rest.

A common mistake to avoid: burning the flakes in smoking-hot oil makes them bitter — bloom them over moderate heat. Another one: adding the flakes only at the end gives heat without aroma; for sauces, start them in the fat.

Storage and Shelf Life

Store in a cool, dry place away from light and heat sources. Shelf life is 24 months. No cold chain is required: this is an ambient product, ideal for stock orders. After each service, close the dosing cap to protect aroma and colour.

Packaging and Sustainability

Cardboard dispenser certified FSC Mix (FSC C10048) with HDPE 02 cap: the body is recycled with paper, the cap with plastic. The facility also packs products containing tree nuts, celery, mustard, sesame, soy and gluten — relevant information for allergen management in professional kitchens.
