Urfa Pepper

4,000 ~ 8,000 Scoville Units

Urfa Pepper (Urfa biber), also known as Isot pepper, is a Turkish chili pepper (Capsicum annuum) with a unique smoky, earthy flavor profile reminiscent of raisins, chocolate, and tobacco, with a mild, slow-building heat. The plant produces large, elongated peppers that ripen from green to a deep maroon-red, and the dried flakes are a staple in Turkish cuisine, used in everything from meat dishes like kebabs to desserts. 

  • Complex Flavor Profile: Experience a rich, smoky taste with undertones of tobacco, dark chocolate, and dried fruits (raisins).
  • Authentic Turkish Quality: Traditionally cured, sun-dried, and fermented for a uniquely soft, oily texture.
  • Versatile Culinary Application: Ideal as a finishing spice on eggs, roasted vegetables, or as a flavorful rub for lamb, chicken, and grilled kebabs.
  • Mild-Medium Heat: Delivers a pleasant, lingering warmth that enhances rather than overwhelms dishes (6,000-8,000 SHU).
