Aleppo Pepper

Aleppo Pepper, Crushed

Aleppo chile pepper comes to us from northern Syria, near the town of Aleppo, which is considered one of the culinary meccas of the Mediterranean. It has a moderate heat level with some fruitiness and mild, cumin-like undertones. Use it for authentic chile flavor in any Mediterranean dish.

Aleppo chile offers a nice variation from your usual crushed red peppers. It has a very robust flavor that hits you in the back of your mouth, tickles your throat and dissapates quickly. Try aleppo in place of regular crushed red chiles on pizzas, salads, and pasta.

* As of August 2007, Aleppo is back! Finally we can all restock this tasty favorite.*
