Does Buck carry Aleppo chili pepper (deli-style)?

A real customer question, curated into a useful guide for cooking, product use, and finding just the right thing.

Yes! We carry Aleppo Chile Pepper (Haleb biber, Aleppo, Halaby) — a Middle Eastern and Mediterranean staple prized for its mild, tangy heat and raisin-like, slightly fruity depth. It's much gentler than cayenne, so it's more about flavor than fire.

  • Great sprinkled over eggs, hummus, or roasted vegetables
  • Adds warmth to grilled meats without overwhelming heat
  • Works well finished over pizza right before serving
  • A little goes a long way, so start with a light hand and adjust to taste
