True Heat from Gaziantep – Not a Supermarket Product.
Once you've tasted genuine Acı Biber Salçası from Antep, you'll never go back to the industrial alternative. Our hot pepper paste is cooked using traditional methods over a wood fire – slowly, patiently, without shortcuts. The result is a deep red, glossy paste with intense heat, rich pepper flavor, and a creamy texture that cannot be mistaken for any supermarket product.
1 kg – a truly practical quantity for Turkish, Arab, and Mediterranean households.
What makes this pepper paste special?
Industrial pepper paste is quickly cooked at high temperatures, bound with stabilizers, and enhanced with colorants or flavorings. Our Antep Salça is not: just peppers, salt, and fire. The heat comes from the peppers themselves – not from additives. The color is natural. The taste is authentic.
Origin: Gaziantep, Turkey – one of the most important cities in Anatolian cuisine, known for intense flavors and artisanal food traditions.
Heat Level & Aroma
Heat Level: Hot to very hot (Acı). If you prefer it milder, our Antep Mild Pepper Paste (Tatlı) is the perfect alternative – same product, same quality, without the heat.
The aroma is complex: first fruity and smoky from the wood fire, then deeply savory from the long cooking times, with a long, warming finish.
What is hot pepper paste suitable for?
• Stews & Meat Dishes – Kuru Fasulye, Mercimek Çorbası, Kıymalı Yemekler
• Sauces & Marinades – as a base for lamb, chicken, or grilled vegetables
• Meze & Dips – mixed with olive oil as a strong spread (Acuka style)
• Pizza & Pasta – a spoonful instead of or in addition to tomato paste for more depth
• Turkish Breakfast – pure with bread, cheese, and olives
• Doner & Lahmacun Base – for those who cook authentically at home
What does "cooked over wood fire" mean?
Traditional Salça is cooked in large kettles over an open fire. This takes hours – sometimes a whole day. The peppers caramelize slightly, develop smoky aromas, and achieve a depth that is not possible with industrial fast processes. You taste the difference with the first spoon.

Direct from the sunniest gardens – No detours
Our Salça (tomato and pepper paste) is made from the finest Anatolian vegetables, ripened under more than 300 days of sunshine a year. We work directly with local farmers – no intermediaries, no anonymous wholesale markets. Only freshly harvested tomatoes and peppers make it into our jars. Pure varietal flavor, directly from the source to your home.
Traditional Sun Drying – Maximum Intensity
Industrial salça is often rapidly boiled down at high temperatures, causing vitamins and aroma to be lost. Our salça, however, is traditionally sun-dried until it reaches its deep red color and thick consistency.
No additives: No added sugar, no artificial colors, no preservatives.
Pure & Intense: One spoonful of our salça replaces three spoonfuls of conventional industrial products. You'll notice the difference in scent and color as soon as you open the jar.
Satisfaction or money back
We stand 100% behind the quality of our traditional Salça – and you should too. If you're not convinced by the taste, just contact us. As a family business from Mannheim, we personally vouch for the purity of our products.

Try it out. Your dishes will love it.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between your salça and conventional tomato paste?
What is the difference between your salça and conventional tomato paste?
The main difference lies in the concentration and production. While conventional tomato paste is often industrially boiled down under high pressure, our Elea Minon Salça is traditionally sun-dried. This makes it significantly more intense, thicker, and gives it a deep, smoky aroma that industrial products lack.
Does your salça contain artificial colorings or preservatives?
Does your salça contain artificial colorings or preservatives?
No.The vibrant red color of our Salça comes exclusively from sun-ripened tomatoes and peppers from the Aegean region. We adhere to the "clean label" principle: nothing but vegetables and a minimal amount of sea salt for natural preservation goes into the jar – no sugar, no dyes, no chemicals.
Why is there salt in salça?
Why is there salt in salça?
In traditional production, salt serves as a natural preservative, especially for sun-dried products. Since our salça is very concentrated, we recommend not adding extra salt when cooking initially and only seasoning further after tasting.
How do I prevent the salça from molding after opening?
How do I prevent the salça from molding after opening?
As we don't use chemical preservatives, proper handling is important: Always use a clean spoon. Our professional tip: Cover the surface of the salça in the jar with a thin layer of Elea Minon olive oil. This seals the product airtight and keeps it fresh in the refrigerator for months.
Can I use pepper paste (Biber Salçası) for German dishes as well?
Can I use pepper paste (Biber Salçası) for German dishes as well?
