The Urfa Biber (also called Isot pepper) is a Turkish classic. Dark, reddish-burgundy peppers with a complex flavor that's hard to describe: smoky, sweet, slightly sour, with notes of chocolate, raisins, and tobacco. Nothing else in our catalog tastes like this.
Traditionally, these are sun-dried by day and wrapped at night, creating a unique oily, moist texture and that signature dark color. You can do the same at home or use them fresh. Incredible in kebabs, salads, rubs, and even chocolate desserts. Yes, chocolate desserts.
