Villa Jerada Aleppo

Imagine a chile pepper walking through an orange grove, and you have the flavor of dried Aleppo pepper — an essential, prized ingredient known for its mild heat, burst of fruitiness, and a go-to in Levantine cuisine. Its warm complexity makes it a brilliant solo player for seasoning grilled meats and stews, while also playing nice with others: mix it with cumin and cinnamon for a simple spice rub. Or add a little verve to your dessert game by sprinkling it on fresh peaches or, yes, even ice cream.
