Fruit Leather Production

Fruit Leather is a traditional dessert from Turkish cuisine, consisting of dried, dense fruit strips. This snack, typically containing grapes, walnuts, and hazelnuts, is a delicious alternative, especially consumed during the winter months to provide energy and a natural sugar source. Here's a detailed look at the pestil köme production process:
1. Sourcing Raw Materials: Pestil köme production begins with the procurement of quality fruits and ingredients. Grapes, walnuts, hazelnuts, and other traditional ingredients are selected from fresh, natural sources. Quality raw materials are important factors determining the flavor and nutritional value of the final product.
2. Fruit Preparation: The grapes are first pressed to extract their juice, then the pulp is separated. This pure grape juice is the primary ingredient of the fruit strips. Other fruit ingredients are combined with a specially prepared mixture of walnuts and hazelnuts.
3. Preparing the Köme Mixture: The prepared grape juice and other fruit ingredients are combined to create a special mixture. At this stage, special spices are added to preserve the traditional flavors and create a unique flavor profile. 4. Drying and Densification: The prepared mixture is usually spread in a thin layer on large trays or special drying racks. It is then allowed to dry in a controlled manner, either in sunlight or in special drying chambers. This process densifies the fruit strips, allowing them to retain their unique flavor and aroma.
5. Shaping and Cutting: The dried fruit strips are usually cut into long strips or special shapes. Traditionally, they are cut into squares or rectangular shapes and then specially packaged.
6. Packaging: The produced pestil köme are placed in hygienic and durable packaging materials. Packaged in accordance with food safety standards, the pestil köme is presented to consumers, preserving its freshness and flavor.
7. Quality Control: Quality control is conducted at every stage of the production process. From raw materials to drying and cutting, product quality is meticulously controlled at every stage. This aims to provide consumers with a reliable, delicious, and high-quality product.

Pestil köme production aims to offer a natural and healthy dessert alternative by preserving traditional methods. This process, which combines traditional flavors with modern production standards, makes pestil köme a snack that appeals to both traditional lovers and those eager to discover new flavors.
