Urfa Biber (Isot Pepper)

Spice Up Your Kitchen with Urfa Biber (Isot Pepper),  Turkish Urfa Pepper Smoky, sultry and sublime that is how the rich complexity of Urfa Biber can be described. Urfa biber is a treasured Turkish chili pepper known for its smoky, mildly spicy, and raisin-like flavor profile. Grown in the Şanlıurfa region of Turkey, these sun-dried peppers are crushed and slow-cured, creating dark crimson and black flakes that are slightly moist and packed with umami. To achieve this the Isot peppers goes through a two-part process, where they are sun-dried during the day and wrapped tightly at night. This process is called 'sweating', and works to infuse the dried chili with the remaining moisture of the pepper. The result is an appearance ranging from deep purple to a dark, purplish black. Isot pepper is less spicy than many other chili peppers, but provides a more lasting build of heat The product is being manufactured by using a HACCP plan in our facility.  Whether you're seasoning grilled meats, sprinkling over roasted vegetables, or finishing chocolate desserts, Urfa Biber adds layers of warmth, fruitiness, and subtle heat that builds slowly on the palate.
