Aleppo pepper, also known as Halaby pepper, is a mild chilli flake traditionally associated with Aleppo, Syria, and widely used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. It is valued for its balanced heat, rich colour, and complex flavour, making it one of the most versatile chillies for everyday cooking.

Flavour Profile

Aleppo pepper delivers flavour first, heat second. Its profile is warm, rounded, and approachable:

• Mild to medium heat (significantly gentler than cayenne)

• Fruity and lightly sweet

This makes Aleppo pepper ideal for cooks who want warmth and depth without overpowering spice.
