The Diamante citron takes its name from the town, and Calabria is still the home of this variety of citron.
Each year in August Diamante hosts a festival celebrating the local produce, peperoncino (chili pepper). These are prepared as dried strings, infused into olive oil and made into a paste known as Calabrese Bomba.
