Dried isot is one of the most characteristic flavors of Southeastern Anatolian cuisine. Available in 500-gram packages, this product is prepared by drying and grinding carefully selected red peppers, then sifting them to a homogeneous consistency. Its sifted form prevents clumping, mixes easily with dishes, and provides a balanced flavor with every use. Its additive-free formula brings the pepper's natural flavor and aroma to the kitchen in its purest form.
Isot is an essential spice in kebabs, raw meatballs, meat dishes, and salads, especially in Şanlıurfa cuisine. It has a slightly smoky, caramelized flavor and, unlike classic chili peppers, offers both a bitterness and a sweet depth. When added to dishes, its color adds visual richness and its aroma adds a distinctive flavor.
