Turkish Dried Figs Individually Wrapped 850g Box — Extra Istanbul

An 850-gram box of extra-grade Turkish dried figs, each one individually wrapped — the size made for a household, not a single snacker. While the 500g version of this line comes in a metal gift tin, this is the family box: roughly 850 grams of large Aegean figs that sit on the kitchen counter and slowly disappear over coffee, after dinner, and whenever guests drop in. The figs come from the Aegean region of western Turkey, the area around İzmir and Aydın that supplies most of the world's dried figs. Only first-quality large figs make it into the extra grade. Before packing, the stem and the eye of each fig are trimmed away, then every fig is wrapped on its own — a style Turks call "çukulat," because each piece is dressed like a chocolate. The wrapping is practical, not decorative: each fig stays soft and clean until the moment you unwrap it, and the open box never dries out the way a loose bag of figs does. The box itself carries illustrated scenes of Istanbul alongside İzmir's Clock Tower, Alsancak, and Karşıyaka — the kind of packaging Turkish families bring when visiting relatives. At 850 grams it works as a generous gift, but it earns its keep just as well opened at home: set it out during Ramadan evenings, a weekend gathering, or simply keep it within reach for the weeks it takes to finish. If you want the smaller metal tin for gifting, the same figs come in a 500g tin and a 1kg tin. This 850g box is the middle path: more figs per dollar than the small tin, in a format meant to be opened and shared. Delivered fast to your door.
