Maintaining variety and enjoyment in your daily meals is essential for a healthy lifestyle, but sometimes your dishes lack that unique, deep flavour that truly makes a meal complete. Ordinary spices often do not offer the desired subtle nuance and depth you are looking for. Jacob Hooy Isot pepper offers the ideal, responsible solution here. This special, semi-fermented Turkish pepper brings a characteristic aroma to your kitchen, allowing you to consciously enjoy a rich taste sensation without making your dishes excessively spicy.

Key benefits

• Unique semi-fermented process: The peppers are ripened at room temperature for 3 to 12 days and processed with vegetable oil and table salt for a deep, complex flavour.
• Mild heat: Less spicy than traditional chilli peppers, making it extremely accessible for the whole family and daily use.
• Characteristic aroma: Adds a distinctive smell, taste and deep colour (ranging from red to black) to all your savoury preparations.
• Versatile in the kitchen: Extremely suitable for seasoning meat dishes, stews and various savoury Mediterranean recipes.

How it works

Isot pepper, also known as Urfa biber, comes from the fully ripe fruits of plants of the genus Capsicum (Solanaceae). After harvesting, the stems are carefully cut off, after which the peppers undergo a traditional drying and fermentation process. By drying the peppers in the sun during the day and packing them airtight at night to sweat, the characteristic dark colour and the savoury, almost raisin-like taste are created. The addition of a small amount of vegetable oil and salt naturally preserves the spice and retains the essential oils that contribute to the aromatic experience.
