Product Overview

• Type: A traditional Turkish fruit-filled pastry, often made with layers of dough (such as phyllo or shortcrust) and filled with a sweetened mixture of dried fruits (e.g., raisins, apricots, figs), nuts (e.g., walnuts, pistachios), and spices like cinnamon or cardamom. It may also include fresh fruit or jam in some variations.
