The Aleppo Pepper, also known as Halaby pepper, is a prized Middle Eastern chilli variety celebrated for its moderate heat, fruity aroma, and rich, complex flavor. It offers a balanced blend of sweetness, tanginess, and mild spice, with subtle notes of cumin, sun-dried tomato, and raisin.
Typically used in its crushed or flaked form, Aleppo pepper adds depth and warmth to dishes without overwhelming heat. It’s a staple in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, perfect for grilling, roasting, meats, dips, salads, and stews.
