Urfa Biber - Sun Dried Turkish Chili
Urfa Biber is a sweet, smokey chili from the fertile lands of Şanlıurfa in southern Turkey. This pepper has a unique drying process that creates a flavor unlike any other. During the day, the peppers dry under the Anatolian sun, and at night they are carefully wrapped or covered to retain moisture. This alternating cycle of sun-drying and night-wrapping allows the peppers to undergo a gentle fermentation, giving them a distinctive, rich flavor with deep smoky notes and subtle hints of raisin and chocolate.
This process, perfected over generations, is a source of pride for local farmers. The wrapping softens the pepper’s flesh, preserving its moisture while enhancing its complexity. Urfa Biber's slow-building heat and rich, earthy profile make it a favorite among chefs worldwide, adding depth to meats, vegetables, sauces, and even desserts.
