I got the most wonderful chile paste in the mail and I thought I would let everyone know. It is not a chinese chile paste - it is Italian. It is called Peperoncino piccante in olio and it is by a company called Silafunghi di Alfredo Muraca. I got it from NapaStyle Catalog http://www.napastyle.com It is run by Michael Chiarello, the chef and cookbook writer. I love all his stuff - I've ordered from the NapaStyle catalog before. Great food, and terrific customer service. It is $8 for 10.5 oz in a nice size jar. #396 in the catalog Just wanted to let everyone know. It is very much like chinese chile paste except there is no sesame oil or other chinese ingredients - just chiles, olive oil, salt and citric acid. Nothing else.
