Fennel, which is what makes Italian sausage taste like Italian sausage, and Calabrian chili, a fruity Southern Italian pepper with real warmth behind it. Most Italian seasoning is dried herbs and nothing else. This one tastes like it came out of somebody's kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Flavor Profile:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHerb-Forward: Oregano, rosemary, thyme, sage, and basil, still aromatic because they were ground this week.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFennel \u0026amp; Garlic: The backbone of Italian sausage, built right into the blend.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalabrian Heat: Fruity, warm, and slow. Spicy enough to notice, not enough to scare anyone off.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhy It Works:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChicken \u0026amp; Alfredo: Season chicken breasts before they hit the pan and the whole dish stops tasting flat. It's the fix for bland chicken alfredo.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpaghetti Sauce \u0026amp; Lasagna: A tablespoon into the sauce while it simmers. Fennel and Calabrian chili give jarred sauce a from-scratch depth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItalian Sausage \u0026amp; Meatballs: Mix it into ground pork or beef and you've made sausage. No casing required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePizza \u0026amp; Garlic Bread: Over the sauce before the cheese, or into melted butter for garlic bread.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoasted Vegetables \u0026amp; Marinades: Whisk with olive oil and balsamic for a marinade, or toss with potatoes before roasting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e🌿 Ingredients:\u003cbr\u003eSea salt, garlic, black pepper, oregano, rosemary, fennel, thyme, sage, basil, Calabrian chili flake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat is spicy Italian seasoning?\u003cbr\u003eIt's a classic Italian herb blend with heat built in. Spicy Italian Grandma pairs oregano, rosemary, thyme, sage, and basil with garlic, fennel, and Calabrian chili, so you get herb flavor and a warm, fruity heat in one blend instead of reaching for red pepper flakes separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat's in Italian seasoning?\u003cbr\u003eMost Italian seasoning is just dried oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary. Spicy Italian Grandma adds sea salt, garlic, black pepper, fennel, sage, and Calabrian chili flake. The fennel and chili are what set it apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat is Calabrian chili?\u003cbr\u003eA small red pepper from Calabria in Southern Italy. It's fruity and smoky with a medium, slow-building heat rather than a sharp burn. Most people know it as a paste. Here it's ground into the blend, so the heat is baked into everything you season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCan I make Italian seasoning at home?\u003cbr\u003eYou can. Here's the honest truth: a good one needs oregano, basil, rosemary, thyme, sage, fennel, garlic, and chili. That's eight jars at $4 to $8 each, and dried herbs in a cabinet go flat within months. This is pre-balanced, ground this week, and dated on the bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat can I use as an Italian seasoning substitute?\u003cbr\u003eIf a recipe calls for Italian seasoning, use this one to one. You'll get more depth from the fennel and garlic and a little heat from the Calabrian chili, so hold back on any red pepper flakes the recipe adds separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat's the best Italian seasoning for chicken?\u003cbr\u003eOne with garlic and fennel in it, not just herbs. Rub Spicy Italian Grandma on chicken breasts or thighs with olive oil before grilling, roasting, or pan-searing. It's especially good on the chicken that goes into alfredo or over pasta.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat seasoning do you put on chicken for fettuccine alfredo?\u003cbr\u003eAlfredo is rich and mild, so the chicken has to carry the flavor. Season it generously on both sides, sear it hard, then slice it over the pasta. Garlic, fennel, and a little chili cut through the cream instead of disappearing into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat Italian seasoning goes in spaghetti sauce?\u003cbr\u003eAdd a tablespoon per quart of sauce while it simmers so the oregano and fennel have time to bloom. If you're starting from a jar, this is the single fastest way to make it taste homemade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat spices go in lasagna?\u003cbr\u003eOregano, basil, garlic, fennel, and black pepper, which is exactly this blend. Stir it into the meat sauce, and add a pinch to the ricotta layer too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHow do you make Italian sausage seasoning?\u003cbr\u003eFennel is the ingredient that makes it taste like sausage, with garlic, black pepper, and chili behind it. Mix 2 to 3 tablespoons of Spicy Italian Grandma per pound of ground pork, let it rest overnight in the fridge, and cook it loose or form it into patties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat seasoning goes in Italian meatballs?\u003cbr\u003eUse about 2 tablespoons per pound of ground meat, along with your breadcrumbs and egg. The fennel and garlic do the work that a dozen separate spices usually have to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCan I use it as pizza seasoning?\u003cbr\u003eYes. Sprinkle it over the sauce before the cheese goes on, or over the top right out of the oven. The Calabrian chili gives it the warmth you'd normally get from shaking on red pepper flakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHow spicy is it?\u003cbr\u003eMedium and warm rather than hot. Calabrian chili builds slowly and tastes fruity. Most people who don't like spicy food are fine with it, and heat seekers will want to add flakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHow fresh is it?\u003cbr\u003eCheck the Born-On Date on the bag. It's ground in small batches and shipped within days, so the herbs still smell like herbs when you open it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhy isn't your seasoning fresh ground? Ours is.
