Spice profile

The tasting note.

Vivid, tart and unexpectedly refreshing. Sumac brings a clean lemon-like brightness without adding liquid acidity, cutting through rich meats, roasted vegetables, yoghurt and salads with a dry, fruity tang.

Origin · Türkiye

Sun-dried chillies and tart red fruit.

Aleppo- and Urfa-style chillies are dried differently — one bright and fruity, the other sweated overnight until dark, raisined and faintly smoky. Sumac grows on the same hillsides.
