Crushed Urfa Chiles

Chile pepper flakes

Urfa biber originates from Şanlıurfa in southeastern Turkey, where the distinctive production method ‚ sun-drying by day, wrapping overnight to sweat in an anaerobic environment ‚ was developed both as a preservation technique and a flavor intensifier.

Produced through a centuries-old drying process unique to Şanlıurfa, Turkey ‚ Urfa biber has a fermented, oil-rich depth that no other dried chile in the world produces.

Sprinkle over hummus, roasted vegetables, and flatbreads as a smoky, earthy finishing condiment.Fold into lamb marinades, ground meat preparations, and spiced rice for deep Levantine flavor.Add to sauces and stews where a slow-building, raisin-like smokiness is the goal.
