The Aleppo chilli pepper is bought to us from the southern part of Turkey, very near the Syrian town of Aleppo, and is considered one of the culinary meccas of the Mediterranean area. The Aleppo has a moderate heat level with some fruitiness and mild, cumin-like undertones, with a hint of vinegar and a slightly salty taste. Use the Aleppo for authentic chilli flavour in any Middle Eastern or Mediterranean dish.Aleppo chilli offers a nice variation from the usual dry crushed red peppers and has an oily coating and fresher taste. It has a very robust flavour that hits you in the back of your mouth, tickles your throat and dissipates quickly. Try this eastern favourite in place of regular crushed red chilli's, fantastic on pizzas, salads, and pasta.
