Urfa Crushed Red Pepper
Also known as Isot pepper, this wonderful crushed chile from the Turkish town of Urfa is similar to Aleppo crushed red pepper. Though Urfa chiles are called “red” pepper they actually are purplish black in appearance. These premium peppers are picked and cut, dried in the sun by day, then wrapped and sweated at night for more than a week. This sweating process gives the chile a rich, earthy flavor and smoky aroma.

Urfa peppers have a moderate heat level, rating a 3-4 on a heat scale of 1-10. The heat develops slower than standard crushed red pepper flakes, but a little quicker and with little more bite then Aleppo crushed red peppers. Like our other pepper flakes, these are great to use as a finisher on many dishes. Try sprinkling over almost any salad, pasta, pilaf, pizza and more. If you enjoy Aleppo chiles we think you will love these as well.
