To that clean foundation, we add one thing: Aleppo pepper flakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Aleppo Pepper?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAleppo pepper is a Middle Eastern chili known for its fruity sweetness and gentle-building heat. Unlike cayenne or crushed red pepper, Aleppo doesn't hit hard and fast. It starts with a subtle warmth at the front of the palate, deepens in the middle, and finishes with a lingering glow at the back of the throat. That slow progression pairs beautifully with the natural richness of high-percentage dark chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe tested several pepper and chili varieties during development, and Aleppo stood out for its balance of sweetness, smokiness, and heat without overpowering the chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eClean Ingredients, Real Food\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Batch No. 5 Leaflet is made with just six ingredients you can recognize and pronounce.
