Judges Comments:

Rich, fiery red and pleasing size to the flakes. Sweet, fruity and smoky notes, lifted by a hit of salt, a warm heat gently builds in the back of the throat and lingers with a comfortable glow. Not harsh or fiery in any way. There is a freshness that is commendable. The sunflower seed oil brings a juiciness and a complementing seedy savouriness. Levels of salt are expertly judged.

Attractive vibrant appearance with thoughtful preparation. There is a clean fruity aroma. A good fruity woody flavour with a good heat. A lovely chilli flake.

Further seasoning wisdom:

These sweet and spicy chilli flakes come from Kahramanmaras in Turkey, where they are harvested following a traditional process. They are sun-dried and stone-ground to create silky smooth flakes.

Silk chilli flakes are preserved in sunflower seed oil, salt and capiscum annuum to conserve their heavenly flavour. 

They are incredibly versatile and can be used for countless dishes! Sprinkle on top of your scrambled eggs, meat, add to your pasta dishes and salads. 

Whatever you choose, prepare for your taste buds to be transported to a warm summer’s day in the Mediterranean, breathing in smells of honey and roasted tomatoes.
