Frequently Asked Questions

What is Aleppo pepper?

Aleppo pepper (also known as Halaby pepper) is a mild chili flake commonly used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking. It’s made from sun-dried, crushed red peppers and is known for its balanced flavor—offering gentle heat with fruity and slightly tangy notes.


How hot/spicy is Aleppo pepper?

Aleppo pepper has a mild to moderate heat level—typically much milder than crushed red pepper flakes. Its heat builds gradually and doesn’t overpower dishes, making it perfect for adding warmth and flavor without too much spice.


What does Aleppo pepper taste like?

Aleppo pepper has a unique flavor that’s mildly spicy, fruity, and slightly tangy, with subtle sweetness similar to sun-dried tomatoes or raisins. Its heat builds slowly and is less intense than traditional red pepper flakes, making it ideal for everyday use.


How is Aleppo pepper different from red pepper flakes?

Aleppo pepper is milder, more flavorful, and slightly fruity compared to standard crushed red pepper flakes, which are typically hotter and more one-dimensional. Aleppo pepper adds complexity and depth rather than just heat, making it a popular alternative.


How do I use Aleppo pepper in cooking?

Aleppo pepper is incredibly versatile and can be used as a seasoning or finishing spice. Sprinkle it over grilled meats, roasted vegetables, eggs, salads, or dips, or mix it into marinades and dressings to add depth and a subtle kick.


What dishes pair well with Aleppo pepper?

Aleppo pepper pairs well with a wide range of dishes, including chicken, fish, vegetables, grains, dips, and even snacks like popcorn. It’s commonly used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern recipes to enhance flavor without overpowering the dish.


Why is my spice a different color than before?

Our spices are natural, non-GMO products made in small batches to keep flavors fresh, so their color can vary from batch to batch. Growing conditions, weather, soil, and harvest timing all play a role. What doesn't change is our quality. Every batch is checked to make sure it delivers the flavor and aroma you expect. A slight color difference just means you're getting a real, minimally processed product, not one that's been dyed to look uniform.


How should I store Aleppo pepper?

Store Aleppo pepper in its original glass bottle, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. Proper storage helps preserve its vibrant color, aroma, and flavor for longer.

After my first jar of

"After my first jar of Aleppo pepper, I was hooked. Its a subtle spice with a gentle touch of heat and a flavor all its own. I use it on eggs, vegetables, poultry, fish and lamb. I've given it, with bottle of your olive oil of course, for the perfect thank you gift. My friend Sy, a gourmet home cook, loves it. Susan"

contains vegetable oil

"when I ordered this, I did not look at ingredient list. Just assumed it contained only the pepper. I've emailed multiple times and asked for a refund. Vegetable oil is highly inflammatory and is not part of my clean eating plan. Make sure to read the ingredient list. I should know better!"
