This condiment is most often produced from cayenne-type peppers, although commercial producers may use a variety of different cultivars.
The village of Bukovo is often credited with the creation of crushed red pepper. The name of the village—or a derivative of it—is now used as a name for crushed red pepper in general in a number of languages.
Crushed red pepper shakers have become a standard on tables at Mediterranean restaurants—and especially pizza parlors—around the world. Often there is a high ratio of seeds, which are popularly believed to contain the most spice.
