I like to buy my spices in bulk because it can save a lot of money. The problem is that they can quickly lose flavor. I suppose it is because they can have a long shelf life, but I have never had that problem with this brand. I have bought and loved a lot of drogheria &alimentari products before and this is no exception.Drogheria & Alimentari Organic Crushed Red Pepper in this package is enough to last for over a year so I have filled a spice jar with some, shared some with a friend, and placed the remainder in a vacuum sealed bag for freezer storage. This is so much better than the pepper I've replaced it with and I would indeed purchase it again.These are spicy with a good flavor. Worked great when I made spicy red pepper dipping sauce.Some great flavor and flakes to spice up pizza. Nice resealable bag.This is amazing! The first time, and every time since, when I open the bag I love the fragrance of the pepper flakes. It is fresh and pungent and delicious. Highly recommended. I immediately checked to see what other spices were offered and bought the Tuscan blend. Great recipe on the back of that package.The smell, flavor, and quality of this pepper is much higher than any I've ever used. Well worth it, and unless you eat it by the scoop, you will likely not run out for a very long time. Package can be ziplocked closed after opening, which is great for refilling a shaker. Awesome stuff!This crushed red pepper is quite hot, very flavorful and good quality.
