Villa Jerada Aleppo Pepper (Red Chile Seasoning Flakes) – Mild Heat, Fruity & Savory Spice for Mediterranean & Levantine Dishes – 2.1 oz

This is an alternative spice to the traditional red pepper flakes used in many dishes. If you think red pepper flakes are pretty much always too hot, then this is a good alternative. It has some heat, but much less than red pepper flakes. It also has a very slightly fruity aroma and flavor, probably because it comes from pepper bodies not the seeds. It is hard to explain, but it works very well in pretty much any dish in which you might have used red pepper flakes. It provides the flavor of red pepper with less heat so you can actually taste it. If traditional red pepper flakes are too much for you, this is your go-to replacement. I use it exclusively now.

It is just as advertised. The bottle came filled to the top with vibrant red and burgundy flakes. The texture isn't dry or brittle like cayenne pepper. Instead, it has a slightly oily sheen. The flavor is a milder heat than cayenne pepper that builds up slowly in your mouth. I'm not an expert but it does smell fruiter. In my opinion, it has more of a hot paprika taste that dissipates, but leaves a pleasant note. I love its quality and I think its size is good value for your money. My daughter loved this chicken soup because it wasnt as hot as cayenne.I really recommend it 👌🏾

I love this Aleppo Pepper! I reorder it regularly as we go through so much. It's not too hot and spicy, just the right kick to add to soups, sprinkle on salads, add to eggs and pastas. I add a bit to olive oil as a dip for bread. It's my go-to seasoning for almost everything now. This would be a great gift for a gourmet chef in the family.

I really appreciate this Aleppo pepper. It is not too spicy that it burns my tongue off, but just spicy enough to give me that warm feeling in my mouth. Good flavor overall

Having never tried these peppers before I have nothing to compare it to like some reviewers. I can say I did like them. While this is subject to the person for me the heat was not overwhelming and the flavor was good, so far I have tried on eggs and plan to do fries next.

I LOVE these peppers. I actually bought these from Milk Street for so much more money. I loved them but didn't want to pay their price. Then I found them on Amazon. Tada. I bought 2. I love them in eggs, salads, main dishes. They are so flavorful. Yes yes yes. Buy them.

I can't read that micro writing ingredients list. Think I need a 30x magnifier but all and all I like it. Just the right heat level.amd tasty
