Aleppo pepper is mild—the heat builds slowly, giving off a raisin-like flavor or a sweetness akin to the best kind of sundried tomatoes! This versatile spice can be added where chili pepper is called for, providing depth and a bit of a Middle Eastern twist.
Sourced typically from Aleppo, Syria. However, because of the current conditions in the region, our suppliers are able to temporarily source from Turkey.

We use pepper flakes all the time, but this is more flavorful without the heat. Love it on pizza!

We love this pepper so much that We keep a jar on the dinning table and I keep one by the stove. The heat is mild with a touch of smokiness. Perfect on everything from scrambled eggs to baked potatoes, goes great on pasta and meat of any kind. Just love the pepper!

Question
Kathy LaChapelle –
I am not a big fan of spicy. What heat level would you give this spice?

Saba (verified owner) –
It is mildly spicy. I would probably give it a 3 out of 10 level, but then this is relative. You’ll notice a bit of a kick when tasting directly, but the spiciness will be more subtle when used in cooking and when mixed with other flavors. It won’t leave you chasing your food with lots of water.

I would agree it’s a 3/10 on the heat scale. Also, I find it a warming spice and not sharp like traditional red pepper flakes you find in the store. Like others here, I keep it around to add to all sorts of dishes. It’s my new favorite red pepper and will have to order more soon at the rate I’m going through it.

I purchased several of your spices, and love them. I really wish that you had recipe links on the product purchase page. I have your spices in my cabinet and I’m not sure how to use them. Real estate in my spice cabinet is valuable and I want every spice to be put to maximum use. If you posted recipes on the spice pages, we’d get a sense of just how much each spice can be used.

I truly love this Aleppo Style Pepper. I find myself thinking of it when I am in a restaurant imagining how good it would be on my omelet, or chicken, or salad. You really must try this if you like anything with a hint of pepper in it. It is my new obsession!!!

Absolutely agree. I thought it would be too hot, like red pepper flakes, but it is just right and goes with just about everything savory. I am glad I finally ordered it!
