Koz Grape Pestil (Üzüm Pestili) 250g, Plain or with Walnuts

Koz grape pestil (üzüm pestili) is a traditional Turkish fruit leather made from concentrated grape molasses. Pestil is one of Anatolia's oldest ways of preserving the autumn grape harvest: the juice is cooked down, thickened, spread thin into sheets and dried until it becomes a soft, chewy, naturally sweet leather you can tear and eat by hand. The result tastes of ripe grapes with a gentle caramel depth, not sharp or sugary.

This listing comes in two versions. The Plain 250g is pure rolled grape leather, smooth and pliable. The With Walnuts 250g folds whole and broken walnut pieces through the same grape leather, so each bite balances the soft, sweet fruit against the rich crunch of nuts, a classic central-Anatolian pairing known as cevizli pestil.

Koz is a long-established İstanbul nut and confectionery house, founded in 1974. Their grape pestil is made without glucose syrup and without gelatin, keeping it a simple fruit-based sweet rather than a processed candy.

How people enjoy it: torn into pieces alongside Turkish tea or coffee, packed as a portable energy snack for work, hiking or travel, sliced onto a cheese or breakfast board, or given as an authentic Turkish gift. It keeps and travels well, which is why it reaches households from the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands and Canada to Egypt and across the Gulf.

Allergen information: The With Walnuts version contains walnuts (tree nut). Like most traditional pestil, this product is typically made with wheat flour or starch as a thickener and therefore usually contains gluten (wheat); please check the information on the pack before eating if you have a wheat or gluten allergy. May contain traces of other tree nuts.

Net weight: 250g per pack. Storage: keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ready to eat.
