Description
Une chaleur fruitée, au cœur de la cuisine du Moyen-Orient
Le piment d’Alep, qu’on appelle aussi pul biber ou piment halaby, est un piment rouge légèrement piquant, apprécié pour son goût fruité, sa chaleur douce et sa pointe sucrée. Contrairement aux flocons de piment qui brûlent d’emblée, le piment d’Alep monte lentement : il donne de la profondeur sans écraser le plat.
C’est pourquoi on le retrouve dans les cuisines turque, moyen-orientale et méditerranéenne — et pourquoi il devient vite un réflexe au quotidien pour qui cherche d’abord le goût, ensuite la chaleur.
Quel goût a le piment d’Alep?
Le piment d’Alep a une saveur riche et ronde :
une chaleur douce à moyenne (environ 10 000 unités Scoville);
une légère note sucrée;
une vivacité fruitée et acidulée, que lui donne le séchage au soleil.
Il pique beaucoup moins que les flocons de piment broyé et il est plus parfumé que le paprika.
C’est cette vivacité fruitée, peu piquante, qu’aucune autre épice ne remplace vraiment.
Pourquoi vous l’adorerez
🌶 Une chaleur douce et équilibrée
Elle réchauffe sans brûler le palais. Idéale pour la cuisine de tous les jours.
🍅 Une saveur profonde
Il donne de la complexité au plat plutôt qu’un piquant tranchant.

Comment utiliser le piment d’Alep
Le piment d’Alep se prête à presque tout :
saupoudrez-le sur les grillades, le poisson ou les légumes rôtis;
incorporez-le au houmous, à la mouhammara ou aux sauces au yogourt;
terminez-en les œufs, les rôties à l’avocat, les salades ou les pains plats;
utilisez-le à la place des flocons de piment broyé quand vous voulez moins de piquant.
Il s’utilise aussi bien en cuisson qu’en touche finale.

When compared to Aleppo Pepper, red pepper flakes lose every, single time. Aleppo Pepper infuses so much more flavor and spice than I have ever achieved with flakes. I discovered Aleppo about a year ago and I have tossed all of my flakes and will never go back.
This brand is fresh and flavorful. The bag is resealable but I have lots of red pepper bottles to put it in;)

We just LOVE this pepper powder (or flakes depending upon how you would describe it)! As we’ve gotten older, we keep adding more and more spice to our foods and this packet has been wonderful to add to things like chicken marinades/sauces and vegetables. It adds a wonderful peppery, spicey flavor. I use a lot of harissa paste in most of the dishes I make and I find that in dishes where I might not want to use the harissa, this pepper spice is perfect. It’s fantastic for BBQ rubs, particularly for pork, beef, and poultry. I make our own pulled pork in the instant pot and have added these ground pepper flakes to our custom rub that I use before putting the pork chunks in the instant pot and the depth of flavor and spiciness is absolutely wonderful. I really couldn’t ask for more.
Megan –
Excellent spice that comes is a resealable bag. Very fresh flavor with the perfect amount of heat. This is a fantastic spice to use on fish or poultry. Great value for the prices.
Lori –
I had never tried Aleppo pepper before ordering this. I like mild to medium spice level & found this to be perfect spice for me. Slightly salty. Super good on avocado toast. eggs, mac & cheese, beans & cream soups. It was very fresh & arrived quickly.
Susan H. –
I purchased the Aleppo Pepper to use in a Mediterranean dish which included cauliflower, zucchini, red pepper and couscous. While none of these ingredients have very significant flavor, the Aleppo Pepper gave the end result a warm, bold flavor. Very tasty!
Amazon Customer –
Adds just the right amount of heat and a lot of flavor. Really perked up deviled eggs!
Americo F. Mulhern –
Very flavorful spice.
Missulaely –
Loving it
Jean Alice –
We put it in and on everything!! This is premium! Excellent flavor with just the right amount of heat!
Bella –
This came quickly and was the exact amount I needed. I cook with Aleppo pepper but not always often so this was just enough. I have t tried it yet to give a score for flavor. Smell, well seems like it’s not exactly fresh but it’s ok.
Michael Nester –
The pepper is very delicious and is very fresh. We really love the flavor it adds, So far I have made Moroccan roast beef, stuffed grape leafs, a Moroccan tomato salad, as well as roast pork chops and some eggs, it has added delicious flavor to everything I made. Great product, with very fast shipping and customer service. Will definitely buy from seller again. The only down side is that the item was pretty pricey, would definitely want a lower price,
Luv2shop –
We are loving this product. It’s great on fish, meats, poultry, veggies, mixed with oil and garlic as a bread dip. Don’t hesitate, just click purchse!
Wicked Witch of the East –
This red pepper flake’s flavor is so much more complex without the acrid burn of some red pepper flakes. It’s not just a more subtle heat, it’s flavor is earthy and bright! I highly recommend it! It has replaced the use of standard red pepper flakes in our home.
Mema Lolo –
Purchased Aleppo Pepper to test a recipe for Cilbir (Turkish poached eggs) and was thoroughly delighted with the flavor it imparted to the dish! Mild, yet a gentle heat. Sooo much better than regular old crushed red pepper! Will be substituting it in other dishes and be looking for more recipes for the Aleppo Pepper!
Freddie t –
Great product
Nurse Betty –
I love this pepper, easy to add heat (spice) and flavor without overdoing the heat, this is the second time I have purchased and plan to get more in the future.
Cricketdog –
This stuff is delicious – just the right amount of spice to pep up your dish with a rich and earthy flavor that far surpasses the dried out red pepper flakes many of us are accustomed to. I would highly recommend this product.
David Zimmer –
The flavor is excellent: it had a rich fragrance, with slightly sweet and salty notes. Make sure to seal it in a bottle after buying it.
David Wilson –
Got the Aleppo Pepper flakes. They are as I hoped. Good value.
Eric the Red –
Given the price I was not surprised to find this is a blend of peppers, not just Aleppo pepper. But I like this blend better than only Aleppo pepper. I will purchase again.
Kindle Customer –
We got this as a gift for mothers day along with salts. Well we just ordered two more and it is different than any pepper we ever had. It has so much flavor and a little bit of a bite to it that is not over powering. It adds to the flavor of food instead of taking over the taste of the food. We received it before the expected delivery date.
Michael O’Driscoll –
I ordered the Aleppo Pepper mix and it tasted amazing. Shipping was prompt and no issues with delivery. There was a lot of pepper supplied for the price. Great value for your money!
Daniel H –
Going to use this in place of regular Red Pepper flakes from now on
M. Friesen –
I am not a big fun of neither pepper for red pepper flakes, but I find myself using this thing a lot! Not much, just a little bit, but it sure ads a little something, something to the food. Try it, it is really good!
Kelley-anne –
Finally found a really good Aleppo. Sweet heat.
corrieian –
Made Assassin Spaghetti with the pepper and the flavor was outstanding.
Saysay –
I used this product for my Christmas cooking and it brought out all the flavours I wanted. It’s not overwhelmingly spicy but it adds a kick, depending on how many spoons you use. Highly recommend.
Starlein Fox –
This spice tastes fantastic—smokey mild heat with so much flavour.
Julie DuVal –
The flakiness and flavor is excellent! Very fresh and flavorful. I prefer Aleppo Pepper to any other chili pepper. So good. I will be purchasing more!
TS –
It comes in flakes and is good. It is spicy but if you use small quantities it can be mild.
Amazon Customer –
After searching my small city for this Aleppo Pepper I had heard about on several cooking shows and unable to find it, Amazon came through. It is a fruity, mild and extremely tasty chili pepper from Turkey and is good on anything!
Coastal Kitty –
Added some to a dip. Not overly spicy to me, but I am used to much spicier. It is in a crushed flake format. Bags (I bought two) were bigger than expected. Good spice to add to anything. Probably would taste good in a Bloody Caesar drink or over spaghetti.
G.J. –
Super good on fries eggs
steve storms –
Delicious and has nice flavor layers. I like to roll my cured meat to add Delicious flavor.
I use it a lot
Nicole L. –
Only 3 stars, considering the 113 g includes the packaging not only its content.
Amazon Customer –
Très bonne saveur, je le met dans toutes mes recettes. Authentique !
Ellie –
My wife was very pleased with this product
Canadian loon. –
I like this spice but it is too expensive.
Andre Cote –
I was surprise of the high quality and taste of that spice. Really a good product to have in your cupboard.
Grace Burtt-Dykstra –
Love this pepper. Hard to find locally but well worth the purchase.
Karen M –
First time user so I can’t compare it to any other brand chili( so that’s why 4 stars only) . It’s mild to low medium heat which is comfortable for me. I’m in belief if it’s too hot spicy you’re not enjoying the actual taste of what you’re eating. Having to guess if it’s chicken or pork because it’s so hot spicy is not my idea of using your taste buds to detect what meat it is because it’s far too hot spicy to taste the meat. This is pleasant and doesn’t interfere with your taste buds! So for now I recommend this brand .
Misscuspic –
Not to hot heat to liven up meals
Betul Camlibel –
Definitely more expensive than it needs to be. The taste is nice, not as spicy as I would prefer.
Zen_Garden –
Tastes delicious. Warm and spicy. Great flavour profile. Would repurchase, no question.
Gladys OBrien –
This brand is a little on the expensive side….but ultra fresh and over the top delicious!
I have been trending towards learning how to prepare several Turkish specialty recipes.
Naturally, they require this special ingredient. Plus pistachios. Etc…
Enjoy.
K. Davis –
Exactly what i was looking for!
Anonymous Customer –
Frrsh and spicy enough for me
Terry King –
I like to make some Turkish dishes quite often and always missed on this pepper, flake and now that I have it, my own dishes are delicious and complete.
It’s hard to judge heat level because I am someone who enjoys very spicy food however, I think that it would be considered a medium heat level. You don’t need a lot so it’s good value for your money.
Anita –
Delicious! Nice addition for Mediterranean recipes.
Barb B. –
The stuff is fabulous; I use it in a spice blend and it is too delicious for words and the color is incredible, love it,love it, love it, love it!
kettlebella –
the product was fragrant, fresh and flavourful
BonnieGee –
Excellent. Not spicy at all.
Babs E –
This pepper has a complex milder flavour either mixed in dishes or sprinkled on top. Love it.
Cdn Sunshine –
Love the spices. I appreciate the fresh quality. Thank you.
Amazon Customer –
Gently spicy.
Michael Ash –
Delivery was on time. Good size pouch. If you want to bottle it, you would need a fairly large spice bottle.
Chris Thompson –
This is a relatively high quality and fresh product and likely better than what you can get easily from other sources. However, it’s not the highest grade Aleppo pepper, what Turkish people call İpek (silk) pul biber, where the ribs (the spiciest part) are removed during processing. As a result, it’s somewhat spicier and less fruity than İpek pul biber.
