Three generations of craftsmanship and passion
In a small village in Eastern Anatolia, amidst rolling hills and blossoming pistachio trees, a special journey began over 75 years ago. Ismail Hakkı, a young confectioner with a heart full of dreams and an incredible flair for sweet delicacies, created the Çelik family's first family recipe for baklava, which still delights today. In his small bakery, it smelled of pistachios and melted butter, as he filled layer after layer of wafer-thin dough with nuts and spices – a ritual that was sacred to him.

The attention to detail and the passion for perfection shaped not only his art, but also his family. His son Ahmet, whose nickname since childhood has been Efendi, and his wife Yüksel, followed in his footsteps and spent countless hours at Ismail Hakkı's side, learning the secret of the perfect filling and the gentle rolling of the dough. But Ahmet and Yüksel brought more than just tradition with them: they added modern accents, refined the recipe and made the small bakery known beyond the village borders.

Today, Barış, Ismail's grandson, runs the factory. He has carried the values and knowledge of his ancestors into the present day. Every baklava that comes out of his bakery tells the story of three generations. From the hand-picked pistachio to the last drop of syrup – here, it is not the quantity that counts, but the quality. Every bite is a reminder of the craftsmanship of the past, refined with a modern touch.

Tradition obliges – and in this factory, baklava is not simply produced. It is shaped with patience, precision and a great deal of love. Here, where old knowledge and modern creativity meet, not only a sweet pastry is created, but a piece of history that you can taste.
