Big discount from the baklava maker from Gaziantep before the holiday

Days before Eid al-Adha, one of the leading baklava companies in Gaziantep reduced the price of first-class baklava from 950 lira to 599 lira. Murat Bakır, a board member of the company, stated that with the constant price increases in the country recently, they decided to make a discount instead of a price hike so that every citizen can enjoy baklava during the holiday season.
As the production of baklava, one of the most important desserts of Turkish cuisine that is synonymous with Gaziantep, intensifies before the Eid al-Adha, Antepsan Baklava, one of the prominent baklava companies in Gaziantep, made a discount on baklava prices as the holiday approached. The Gaziantep-based company reduced the price of first-class baklava from 950 lira to 599 lira. Murat Bakır, a member of the company’s board, mentioned that although there have been constant price hikes in the country in recent years, they decided to go against the tide and be the first to offer a discount, stating, ‘We decided to make a discount instead of a price hike so that every citizen can enjoy baklava during the holiday season.’
“We made a significant discount so that all our people can access baklava” Murat Bakır, mentioning that they made a significant discount on baklava considering the citizens before the holiday, said, “We made a big discount on baklava before the holiday. This is a discount made for our people. Our business is very busy before the holiday. We made a nice discount so that all our people can access baklava. We aim to maintain this price even after the holiday. Prices have increased significantly in recent times, making it difficult for citizens from all walks of life to access baklava. We are aware of the complaints of our people against the price increases in the food sector in the gastronomy city. Although these increases are due to inflation, we are breaking the mold and offering discounts. By further improving the quality of baklava, we have brought it to a price that every citizen can afford. Since our product is a geographically marked product, we cannot produce below a certain quality.
“In the market, first-class baklava is priced at 950 TL, but we reduced this price to 599 TL” Providing details of the discount they made, Bakır said, ‘Currently, the first-class baklava in the market is priced at 950 TL. We reduced this price to 599 TL. This price is below our cost price, but this year the pistachio crop seems abundant. Therefore, we believe that these prices will decrease further, and the prices of pistachios will also decrease. We aim to keep the prices at this level, or even lower them, after the holiday. Sweets are a must-have for holidays. Baklava is the indispensable dessert of holidays. We received very positive reactions from our citizens, especially on social media, regarding these discounts. We want to continue this and ensure that our citizens have a very delicious holiday.’
“Before the holiday, we are sending baklava everywhere” Emphasizing that the intensity before the holiday has reached its peak and they are sending baklava to many parts of the world and all over Turkey, Murat Bakır said, ‘Before the holiday, we are sending baklava everywhere. We send baklava from here to everywhere in the world, including points such as America, Dubai, and Davos, Switzerland. We also send baklava to metropolitan cities such as Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir with a one-day delivery condition.’
The arduous journey from the production workshops to the tables for Eid baklava In the production workshops, masters roll out the baklava dough to paper thinness with rolling pins, mix the rolled out sheets with Antep pistachios and clarified butter, and bake them in stone ovens heated by wood fire. After the baklavas are baked in the ovens, they are ready to eat once they are combined with syrup. The Gaziantep baklava, which goes through laborious stages, is shipped from Gaziantep to all 81 provinces of Turkey and many countries around the world to sweeten mouths during Eid al-Adha.
