Urfa Biber, also known as Isot, hails from the sun-soaked city of Şanlıurfa in southeastern Turkey. The time-honored chili spice boasts a medium lingering heat, rich wine-like flavor and a delicate hint of smoke. Just a sprinkle will add a depth of flavor to everything from traditional recipes to your morning scrambled eggs.  Description To make Urfa Biber, chili peppers are harvested at the peak of ripeness. They’re then sun-dried, carefully cured, and ground to be about the size of kosher salt. In Turkey, this ancient spice is used to add a subtle kick to kebabs, soups, stews, and more.
