Our story
Four decades of Anatolian dried fruit.
From a family trading house in Malatya to a certified exporter shipping to 40+ countries — the craft has never changed, only the scale.
Malatya orchards at harvestSince 1986
One family, one obsession: the perfect dried apricot.
Malatya sits on mineral-rich soils and a climate built for stone fruit. Three generations of our family have learned to read the orchards, time the harvest and dry the fruit so its flavour is concentrated, never lost.
Today that knowledge runs through a modern, certified operation — but every decision still starts with the same question our founder asked: is this good enough to carry our name?
