Aleppo pepper is about half as spicy as your basic chili flake, with a bright, fruity flavour and a smell a lot like sun-dried tomatoes. It's a Middle Eastern staple for seasoning meats, salads, beans and dips, and it does its best work as a finishing chili, over eggs, labneh or roast vegetables.
Once it's in your kitchen, you'll find yourself sprinkling it on anything that needs a bit of oomph. For something darker and smokier, try its cousin, Urfa Biber.
Aleppo pepper originated in Syria but is now mostly sourced from Turkey. Épices de Cru's comes from the Turkish side of the North Syrian Plateau.
