In Elazığ, a special kind of almond candy, cherry almond candy, produced by a master candy maker and an employer together, is made only in Elazığ, Turkey and has gained great popularity among the citizens. Working at a local products store in Elazığ, almond candy master Coşkun Ceylan and store owner İmam Gündoğdu decided to produce cherry almond candy inspired by cherry ice cream. Mixing the cherries produced in Elazığ with the white gold of the city, almond candy, the masters encountered a unique taste. Initially produced in small quantities and served to the citizens as a treat, cherry almond candy received positive feedback from the people, leading to a patent application. With the patent held in Elazığ, cherry almond candy, produced only here in Turkey, has become a favorite delicacy among citizens coming from abroad and different cities. Store owner İmam Gündoğdu expressed that they will continue their efforts to introduce cherry almond candy, which they own the patent for, to Turkey and the whole world. ‘Only available in Elazığ in Turkey’ Starting this journey with the thought of ‘what can we do for Elazığ,’ Gündoğdu mentioned, ‘We had Orcik and fruit leather but we couldn’t promote them enough. So, we sat down with our master and had a consultation. We decided to make cherry almond candy inspired by our cherry ice cream. We made it, saw that it was well-received, and received high demand from our customers coming from abroad and intercity. We are continuing production smoothly. It is only available in Elazığ in Turkey. We developed this product ourselves. Our product is completely natural, made from cherry syrup. We store the cherries we collect on time in cold storage to produce cherry almond candy year-round. The price of cherry almond candy is the same as regular almond candy. The price per kilogram of cherry almond candy is 250 Turkish Lira. We couldn’t promote Orcik. Gümüşhane and Gaziantep produce the same product but they promoted it. We made a product here. Both the cherry and almond are ours. That’s why I ask the politicians of our province to support this product. Our goal is to introduce the cherry almond candy we produce to Turkey and the whole world.
