Grape Molasses

Grape molasses (pekmez) is produced by slow-reducing fresh grape must — the juice of crushed grapes — without added sugar or preservatives, yielding a thick, naturally sweet syrup with a distinctive tartness and deep amber colour. Our grape molasses is produced from Aegean and Central Anatolian grape varieties using traditional evaporation methods that preserve the natural mineral content and flavour complexity of the fruit.

A traditional staple of Turkish and Middle Eastern breakfast culture, consumed with tahini or used as a natural sweetener in cooking and baking. Growing interest in natural, minimally processed sweeteners is expanding the market for grape molasses into health food and specialty grocery retail beyond traditional ethnic food channels. Available in glass jars and food service bulk formats.
