Description
The Karatzova peppers used for Daphnis and Chloe's vastly popular Smoked Chili Flakes are cultivated by just a handful of families living at the northern frontier of Almopia in Greece. Once ripe, these mildly hot, fleshy peppers are washed, hand-sorted, placed on birch wood, and slow-smoked for 10 days. During the smoking process, the farmers work shifts guarding the fire day and night, ensuring it never goes out. The peppers are then de-stemmed and crushed by hand, giving life to a spice rub collectively known across Greece as Bukovo.
Pleasant, sweet, mellow, and with a lasting flavor, these Smoked Chili Flakes form an ideal backbone for stews, soups, and sauces. In the traditional cuisine of North Greece, they are often scattered over yogurt as a seasoning for meat grills and thick soups. They’re an essential ingredient for baked Feta cheese. They make the perfect topping for avocado toast or charred broccoli, and they’re equally satisfying on a soft-boiled egg.
