Nduja is a spreadable, spicy pork sausage that is made with pork meat, lard, and Calabrian chili peppers. It has a soft and creamy texture and a fiery taste. It is typically used as a condiment to add flavour and heat to pasta dishes, pizzas, and bruschetta or thick slices of bread.

Cipolla, on the other hand, is a staple ingredient in many Italian dishes, including Calabrian cuisine. The onions grown in Calabria are known for their sweet and delicate flavor, and they are often used in local recipes, both raw and cooked.
