This rich pepper flake from Turkey has an earthy, smoky edge that hints at chocolate and tobacco alongside a mild heat giving it a well rounded, complex flavor. Similar to Aleppo Pepper in terms of heat level (and geography...the town of Urfa is only one mountain range away), it also has a wide range of uses and will enhance most any dish. Urfa Biber can be used extensively in a variety of savory dishes. Try it in sweet ones, too, like our Chocolate-Chile Pepita Cookies or, especially in brownies.
