Turkish delight production

Turkish delight production in our Gaziantep workshop

These photographs were taken in our own Turkish delight workshop in Gaziantep. Each batch is cooked in open copper kettles with a mechanical stirrer until it reaches the right body; the fruit and colour are added in the kettle. The cooked mass is spread on steel tables, dusted with starch and rolled by hand around whole pistachios, hazelnuts or almonds. The rolls then rest on trays in trolley racks to set before they are cut.

Base cooking in a copper kettle with a slow stirrer

Cutting and coating are done by hand: finger rolls are finished with pistachio, coconut or rose petals, laid in trays and packed in lined bulk cartons or retail boxes. Every product in our Turkish delight range is made in this workshop.
