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.

Urfa biber

An excellent condiment for anything that you would sprinkle black pepper on. Especially good on pasta with seafood & Boursin cheese sauce w/ truffle oil. Also good on pizza, rice, stews, omelettes, etc. etc. Brings out a rich, savory depth. A wee bit of heat, but very mild.

Love this spice and Spice House

Chiles, Urfa Biber

LOVE URFA BIBER!

After discovering Urfa Biber, I now sprinkle it generously on nopalitos, which I eat with breakfast quesadillas several times a week. It blends beautifully with the tangy taste of the cactus while countering it a bit.. It adds a lot of subtle flavor , but its' "heat" level is much lower than Allepo, and its flavor entirely uniquet. I now use more Urfa Biber than almost any other herb or spice in my cabinet!
