Chilled items & warm-weather notice
We ship chilled (perishable) foods with ice-gel packs, kept refrigerated. In warm weather, light oil sweating on cured products such as sucuk/pastırma, or softening of cheese, is normal and not a sign of spoilage — it returns to normal once chilled. Please refrigerate items immediately on delivery and be available to receive your order on the delivery day.
Perishable foods are exempt from the 14-day change-of-mind return; your statutory rights for genuine quality or safety issues remain unaffected.
Description
For cooks who like their food with a proper kick, a jar of hot pepper paste is non-negotiable. Öncü makes this 700g jar from red peppers harvested in season and cooked down into a thick, fiery paste, then packed in glass. It contains no additives, colourings, preservatives or artificial sweeteners, just the bold, warming flavour of ripe chillies.
What Is It?
In Turkey, acı biber salçası is the spicy cousin of the sweet pepper paste found in every kitchen. It is made by grinding hot red peppers, salting them and reducing them slowly, traditionally on trays left in the summer sun, until the mixture becomes dense, glossy and intensely flavoured. The result is a paste that brings heat, colour and a deep, slightly smoky sweetness to whatever you add it to.
It is especially loved in south-eastern Turkey, where cities like Gaziantep, Adana and Şanlıurfa are famous for their spicy kebabs, köfte and stews. In those kitchens, a jar is never far from the hob, and many cooks would not dream of making a pot of beans or a tray of kebabs without it.
Simple Ingredients
Many commercial pastes rely on colourings and preservatives to stay bright and shelf-stable. This additive-free jar keeps things simple, so what you taste is the pepper itself. The glass packaging also protects the flavour and avoids the metallic note you sometimes get from tins.
Common Questions
How hot is it?
It has a noticeable, building heat, but it is meant to flavour food rather than overwhelm it. Start with a teaspoon and add more to taste. If you want a gentler result, mix it half and half with sweet pepper paste.
How is it different from other chilli pastes?
Compared with a typical chilli paste such as harissa or sambal, Turkish hot pepper paste is smoother and less heavily spiced. It focuses on the rich, rounded flavour of the pepper, with no garlic, vinegar or added herbs, which makes it easy to use in many different dishes.
What can I cook with it?
- Fry a spoonful with onions for spicy lentil or tomato soup.
- Knead into minced meat for Adana-style kebabs and köfte.
- Add to bean and chickpea stews for warmth and colour.
- Mix into bulgur for spicy kısır or çiğ köfte.
- Stir into yoghurt with garlic for a quick, fiery marinade.
- Spread thinly over flatbread or lahmacun dough before baking.
A Cooking Tip
Always sizzle the paste in a little oil or butter for a minute before adding liquids. This removes the raw taste and caramelises the natural sugars, bringing out a deeper, fuller flavour from your hot pepper paste.
Storage
Once opened, keep the jar refrigerated and always use a clean, dry spoon. Smooth the surface and cover it with a thin layer of olive oil to keep it fresh for longer. Please check the label for the best before date and full information.
