Turkish ghee, known in Turkish as sade yağ, is pure clarified butter with the water and milk solids gently cooked away, leaving rich golden butterfat behind. This jar from Toprak Doğal is made in İzmir, on Turkey's Aegean coast, from a single ingredient: pasteurized butter reduced to 99% milk fat, with no salt added.
If you have searched for what ghee is called in Turkish, this is it. The same clarified butter prized in South Asian kitchens as desi ghee has a long home in Turkish cooking as sade yağ, the traditional fat behind rich pilafs, börek, semolina helva and many beloved desserts.
What sets clarified butter apart is the cooking. Once the milk solids and water are removed, you are left with a fat that carries an intense, slightly nutty, buttery aroma and a high smoke point of around 230°C (450°F) — considerably higher than ordinary butter. That makes it well suited to high-heat cooking where regular butter would brown and burn.
- One clean ingredient: pasteurized butter, 99% milk fat, unsalted
- Naturally very low in lactose, since the milk solids are cooked off and strained out
- Origin: İzmir, Aegean region of Turkey
- Net weight: 190g glass jar
- High smoke point for frying, sautéing and roasting
Use it to sear and roast vegetables, fry eggs, finish rice and grains, brush filo pastry for baklava, or stir a spoonful through mashed potato for a deeper, fuller flavour. At room temperature it stays soft and spoonable; keep it cool and sealed and it holds its texture well. Store refrigerated at 0–4°C as recommended by the producer.
For anyone who cooks with butter and wants the flavour without the milk solids that scorch over high heat, Toprak Doğal sade yağ is an honest, single-origin Turkish ghee.
