Fox’s Spices Aleppo Chilli Flakes 550g

Aleppo Chilli Flakes

Fox’s Spices Aleppo Chilli Flakes bring gentle chilli warmth, fruity depth and a subtle sweetness to everyday cooking. Traditionally associated with Syrian and wider Middle Eastern cuisine, Aleppo-style chilli flakes are valued for their rounded flavour and moderate heat, making them particularly good when you want chilli to contribute flavour rather than dominate the dish.

The flakes have a coarser texture than chilli powder, so they work just as well scattered over finished dishes as they do stirred into sauces, marinades and slow-cooked recipes. Try them over hummus, labneh, eggs and avocado, mix them through roasted vegetables, or use them to season lamb, chicken, pulses and tomato-based dishes. They are also brilliant with Mediterranean flavours such as feta, aubergine, tahini and extra virgin olive oil.

Key Features:

• 550g pack.
• Coarse flake format makes portioning and sprinkling straightforward.
• Particularly suited to Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Levantine recipes.
• Useful for both cooking and table-side seasoning.
• A practical bulk format for anyone who uses chilli regularly.

Recipe Inspiration

• Make Aleppo chilli and honey halloumi by frying thick slices of halloumi until golden, then finishing with honey, Aleppo chilli flakes and fresh lemon.
• Spoon whipped feta onto toasted sourdough and top with roasted tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil and a generous pinch of Aleppo chilli flakes.
• Roast cauliflower with olive oil and Aleppo chilli, then serve it over tahini yoghurt with toasted sesame seeds and fresh herbs.
• Make Turkish-inspired eggs by serving poached eggs over garlicky yoghurt with warm butter infused with Aleppo chilli flakes.

Why are Aleppo chilli flakes often used as a finishing spice?

Their coarse texture and rounded chilli character make them particularly well suited to sprinkling directly over food. This also allows their colour and individual flakes to remain visible rather than disappearing into a sauce or spice blend.

Where does the name Aleppo chilli come from?

Aleppo pepper takes its name from Aleppo in northern Syria and has long been associated with Syrian and neighbouring regional cuisines. It is also commonly known by names including Halaby pepper, referring to Aleppo's Arabic name, Halab.

Why do some Aleppo chilli flakes look slightly oily?

Aleppo-style pepper flakes can have a naturally rich appearance compared with very dry crushed chillies. Traditionally processed Aleppo pepper may also be prepared with salt and oil after the chillies are dried and crushed, contributing to its distinctive texture and appearance.
