These moderately spicy, fruity-tasting chili flakes from Daphnis and Chloe, an Athens-based culinary herb company, are made from a variety of red horn pepper that is only found in one region in Greece. The peppers are smoked for three weeks with aromatic birch wood and are ideal for adding subtle smokiness and spice to all manner of dishes. Keep them tableside for last-minute garnishing.
The peppers are smoked every fall in a traditional process that takes three weeks; slow smoking with aromatic birch wood produces a sweet, subtle and delicate chili flake.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
These smoked chili flakes can add a whole new dimension to pasta dishes, scrambled eggs and omelets (especially stuffed with cheese and greens), grilled cheese sandwiches, steak and even simple roast salmon. Keep a bowl on the table to season pizza, pasta and just about everything else.
Some of the finest Mediterranean herbs can be found in Greece, growing in wild undisturbed microclimates and, over the years, developing flavor profiles and aromas unique to that country. They are a well-kept secret by the locals, and most of the herbs have been inaccessible to cooks outside Greece — until now. Daphnis and Chloe, an Athens-based culinary herb company, partners with local foragers and farmers to harvest limited-production herbs and distribute them internationally, and we at Milk Street are bringing them to you.
