Three specialities, one standard of care
Everything we sell comes from two growing regions we know by name — the fig gardens of Aydin and the apricot terraces of Malatya.
Signature
Fig Salami
Pressed fig paste rolled with walnut halves into a firm log, sliced like charcuterie. No added sugar, no binders.

Why buyers stay with us
We own the chain from tree to carton
Most exporters buy at auction. We contract the same 140 growing families year after year, walk the gardens before harvest, and dry the fruit in our own facility 20 minutes from the orchards.
- Traceable lots. Every carton carries a code back to the grower and drying batch.
- Tested before shipping. Aflatoxin, pesticide residue and moisture on every lot.
- Consistent calibres. Optical sorting plus a hand-grading line, so repeat orders match.
- Packed to your spec. Retail, catering and industrial formats, private label included.

Where the fruit comes from
Two growing regions, chosen deliberately
Dried fruit is an agricultural product before it is a grocery product. Which valley it grew in decides more about how it tastes than anything we do afterwards.
📍
Nazilli and the Büyük Menderes valley, Aydin
The stretch of the Aegean interior around Nazilli and Incirliova is where the Sarılop fig became the reference for dried figs worldwide. Hot dry summers, cool nights and calcareous soil let the fruit ripen on the tree until the sugars concentrate on their own.
All of our figs — whole grades and fig salami alike — come from contracted gardens within an hour of our facility.
📍
Malatya, Eastern Anatolia
Roughly four out of five dried apricots eaten anywhere in the world come from the terraces above the Euphrates around Malatya. Altitude and a short, intense season give the Hacıhaliloglu apricot its density and its keeping quality.
We buy there directly, dry to the sulphur level each market allows, and ship both golden and natural grades.
