Terre Exotique Aleppo Pepper Flakes, 45g Best

Aleppo pepper has a similar flavour profile to paprika but with a more intense, earthy heat. It is a staple ingredient in Turkish, Lebanese and Middle Eastern cuisine. Robust and aromatic, aleppo pepper flakes have undertones of cumin and a tangy, fruity finish that has been compared to lemon or sun-dried tomatoes. 

Aleppo pepper is named after the Syrian city of Aleppo, which lies on the famous silk road spice route. It’s a great addition to tomato sauces, kebabs and kofta and rich stews with goat and lamb. Add a pinch to hummus, sautéed potatoes or muhammara (roasted red pepper and walnut dip). The heat builds slowly, adding spice and complexity to dishes like baked eggs and roasted pumpkin.

Aleppo pepper flakes are a good match for warming spices like coriander, cumin and oregano. You can also use it with cinnamon in sweet dishes like brownies and hot chocolate.

About Terre Exotique

Terre Exotique works directly with hundreds of specialist farmers and producers around the world – to bring the very best peppers, spices and salts to our tables. The company was founded by Erwann de Kerros, a Breton and seasoned traveller. After tasting pepper in the Penja plantation in Cameroon, Kerros yearned to try other specialist peppers and spices – and Terre Exotique was born.

The company works closely with farmers to preserve natural habitats, and to ensure a sustainable income for local communities. Each spice is carefully packed in tins or glass jars – with no plastic. The metal tins preserve the flavours and aroma of your spice, by protecting them from sunlight. So the ingredients stay at their best for longer.
