Koz Mulberry Pestil 250g — Turkish Fruit Leather, Plain & With Walnuts

Koz Mulberry Pestil is a traditional Turkish fruit leather (dut pestili) made by drying concentrated mulberry pulp into a soft, chewy sheet. It is one of Anatolia's oldest portable snacks: pulped fruit spread thin and dried into a flexible, naturally sweet leather that keeps for months. Koz, a dried-fruit house based in İstanbul, sources its pestil from the regions where it is traditionally produced.

This listing offers two 250g variants:

• Plain (Sade Dut Pestil) — light-tan mulberry leather with a clean, fruity sweetness and a gentle chew. Just the fruit base, nothing flashy.
• With Walnuts (Cevizli) — a deeper, caramel-toned sheet folded around walnut pieces, adding a rich, nutty bite to the mulberry.

Allergen note: the With Walnuts variant contains walnuts (tree nuts). Pestil is traditionally made with wheat flour or starch as a thickener, so this product is not gluten-free and may contain gluten. If you have a tree-nut or gluten concern, choose accordingly and check the on-pack label.

Mulberry leather is made without added glucose syrup and without gelatin, so it is plant-based in its plain form and carries the natural fibre of the fruit. It travels well, needs no refrigeration, and gives a quick, fruit-based lift of energy — which is why it has long been carried by hikers, students, and travelers across Turkey.

How to enjoy it: tear off a strip on its own, slice it alongside cheese and crackers, chop it into yogurt or oatmeal, or serve it on a tea or dessert board. It pairs naturally with Turkish tea and coffee.

Koz Mulberry Pestil is in strong demand across the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. It is a popular gift and a staple on holiday and Ramadan tables, but it is just as good as an everyday chewy snack any time of year.
