Flatiron Pepper Co was founded by Matt and Mike, two co-workers and pizza fanatics. While eating at a local pizza joint during lunch, we wondered, "what kind of pepper is a red pepper flake anyway?" and "Do they have to taste like this?". We soon discovered that "red peppers" could be a wide variety of different chiles, and the specific pepper within the shaker was usually unknown. We started to question why there was so little care given to the flavor and freshness of pepper flakes? After all, they're the first thing to hit your tastebuds when you bite into a pizza slice!
So, we started developing pepper flake blends that mixed a variety of different chiles together, looking to achieve distinct flavor and heat profiles. Each of our products has its own unique character, and we show you exactly what's in each bottle.
Try them on Pizza, stir-fry, pasta, steak, or any other dish that needs to make an impression.
