Description

Urfa pepper is a unique Turkish chilli from the region of Urfa in southeastern Turkey, known for its warm climate and rich culinary tradition. Unlike ordinary chilli flakes, Urfa pepper has a deep, rounded flavour with fruity, slightly smoky, jammy notes that can remind you of raisins, dates, cocoa, and tobacco.

The peppers are harvested when fully ripe, sun-dried, and then sealed to “sweat”, a traditional process that gives Urfa pepper its distinctive dark colour, soft texture, and complex aroma. With a mild to medium heat level of around 4/10, it adds depth and warmth without overpowering the dish.

Use it as a finishing spice or cooking ingredient for fried eggs, scrambled eggs, pasta, roasted potatoes, aubergine, squash, grilled meats, marinades, tagines, stews, hummus, bruschetta, and olive oil dressings.
