Known also by its Kurdish name, Isot, biber is Turkish for pepper while Urfa is a province in Turkey's southeast. A cross-border cousin to Aleppo pepper, this pepper, mild in heat, and redolent of raisin, chocolate, and smoked, ripens to a dark maroon color on the plant. Great with sautéed eggplant and tomato dishes, it is also fantastic with lamb and kebabs.

Where have you been all my life?

If you haven’t tried Urfa Biber, yet, you simply do not know what you are missing!
It is my daily go-to, and never ever run out of this stuff! Full of flavor, but not overly hot, and works with so many different kinds of dishes. Don’t limit yourself on what you use it on. If you would typically add black pepper, then use this! You will be very happy with the results!
Urfa Biber also makes a very nice gift. You could give them as a gift to people you work with for Christmas. Not expensive, attractive jars & labels add an elegant flare, but also super nice to receive!

Urfa Biber

Love it. Wonderful taste. My grandmother was from Urfa.

Best Batcha Biber Brownies ever!

Spice is perfect for enhanced Biber brownies!

Phenomenal selection and quality.

A wonderful unique and delicious taste.

This has become my latest "favorite" spice! It has a floral peppery taste unlike any other "pepper". I've gone through nearly half the small jar since I received it.
