      Smoked Pimentón Paprika

      Our rich, sweet Smoked Pimentón Paprika comes from a protected region in Western Spain, where sweet red peppers have been grown and smoked for centuries. Fresh peppers are slowly dried over oak coals, which imbue them with a rich, smoky flavor that imparts a savory depth and gorgeous color.

      Tasting notes: Hardwood Smoke • Ripe Tomato • Summery Sweetness

      Cooking:

      • Mix with salt, ground cumin and coriander for a meat seasoning or dry rub
      • Add to your favorite classic Spanish paella recipe

      Silk Chili Flakes

      The Turkish variety of the Aleppo pepper, our summery, mildly spicy Silk Chili was historically ground using heavy silk ropes, giving them a smooth, slippery texture. They have a warm, tomato-like flavor and a medium heat, similar to Espelette and Korean chilis.

      Tasting notes: Roasted Tomato • Honey • Mediterranean Sun

      Cooking:

      • Sprinkle over pasta or pizza
      • Add to soups and stews

      Red Jalapeño Chili Flakes

      Our El Jefe–variety Red Jalapeño chili peppers are grown on Fire Tongue Farms in California. Unlike most jalapeño peppers, which are picked while still green, these peppers ripened on the vine, turning bright red and very sweet. They're medium-hot and are perfect for cooking or garnishing, in a tomato sauce, with eggs or on fresh fruit.

      Tasting notes: Summer Tomato • Sugar Cane • High Burn

      Cooking:

      • Sprinkle over dips like baba ghanoush and hummus
      • Add to chocolate and fruit for a sweet/spicy kick!

      Cobanero Chili Flakes

      Our Cobanero Chili Flakes are a rare Maya variety of chili pepper with a fierce, bright, slightly smoky heat and a lush, fruity, peachy aroma. The chilis are grown in the mountains around the city of Cobán, Guatemala. They're spicier than serrano peppers and in the same range as cayenne. Perfect for anyone who appreciates true chili flavor!

      Tasting notes: Papaya • Roasted Corn • Fire

      Cooking:

      • Add to pots of beans, roasts or braises
      • Add to marinades or sauces for an extra kick

      Noble Sweet Paprika

      Our rich, vibrant Noble Sweet Paprika is grown on a small regenerative farm in the oldest paprika-growing region of Hungary. Perfect for classic Hungarian dishes, this sweet paprika adds richness and depth to anything it touches.

      Tasting notes: Red Peppers • Green Tomato • Turned Earth

      • Make classic Hungarian dishes like goulash, chicken paprikash and stuffed cabbage

      Szegedi 178 Hot Paprika

      Our Szegedi 178 Hot Paprika is grown on a small regenerative farm in the oldest paprika-growing region of Hungary by our partner farmer, Péter. Szegedi 178 is an heirloom variety of hot pepper that has a beautiful aroma and a long, warm burn. The peppers are picked ripe, air-cured in mesh bags, dehydrated, ground and blended with sweet paprika in small batches.

      Tasting notes: Hay Field • Dried Plum • Glowing Coals

      Black Urfa Chili

      Our Black Urfa Chili comes from Urfa, Turkey, where it has been grown and cured for centuries. It has a rich, malty flavor with a lingering burn. The chilis ripen to a bright red color, then are laid out under sheets in the hot summer sun. This technique cures the pepper in its own juices and gives it a deep umami flavor and beautiful dark color.

      Tasting notes: Raisin • Espresso • Summer Night

      Cooking:

      • Sprinkle over roasted vegetables, eggs, or cooked proteins 
      • Stir into brownie batter or chocolate cookie dough 

      Smoked Chipotle Chili Flakes

      Our Smoked Chipotle Chili peppers are grown on Fire Tongue Farms in California and smoked over fruit tree branches pruned from a nearby orchard. A chipotle is a smoked jalapeño pepper, so these are the darker, deeper siblings to our El Jefe-variety Red Jalapeños. They're medium-hot and are perfect for cooking or garnishing, in a tomato sauce, with eggs or on fresh fruit.

      Tasting notes: Campfire • Roasted Tomato • Hot & Sweet

      Cooking:

      • Season grilled meat or veggies for a smoky spiciness
      • Sprinkle over dips like baba ghanoush and hummus

      Kashmiri Chili Powder

      Our Kashmiri Chili Powder is an heirloom variety grown in Kashmir. The chilis are prized for their flavor and vibrant red color, which imparts a beautiful hue to rubs and stews. The rich color and bright, sweet flavor make this chili powder a perfect everyday alternative to cayenne or hot paprika. Ours is hotter than others you may have tried!

      Tasting notes: Grilled Sweet Pepper • Cucumber • Medium Heat

      Cooking:

      • Use in a rub for grilled lamb or other meat kebabs
      • Use anywhere you'd use cayenne pepper, chili powder or hot paprika

      Crushed Red Peppers

      This bright, fruity chili blend as a major upgrade to "run-of-the-mill crushed red pepper that's on every table at your local pizzeria." It's ripe with four different chilis, and it has a hint of sweet smokiness and boasts a beautiful, complex, medium heat.

      Ingredients: Silk chili (silk chili flakes, sunflower oil, salt), Cobanero chili, sweet pepper paprika, smoked pimentón paprika

      Cayenne
