Background
Started on one sac
Osman Avcı started at home in 2012, by hand, on a sac: the hot iron plate on which yufka has been baked for centuries. One sheet at a time, a thousand a day at most, with twelve people.
What changed since then is the scale, not the method. In Ermelo the machines now do the same thing, a hundred thousand times a day, with eighteen people around them.
If the taste were to change, and people no longer found that flavour of Anatolia, they would not buy a second time.

Six things to make with it
Yufka does more than dürüm. Below are six ideas, each with the variety that suits it. Full recipes with quantities and photographs are still to come; they will not be invented just to fill the page.

Classic dürüm
Fill with grilled vegetables, falafel or meat, add sauce and fresh herbs and roll it tight. A short turn in the pan gives a crisp edge.

What a buyer wants to know
Case contents, pallet build, shelf life chilled and frozen, GTIN, minimum order and lead time per country. Of eleven producers studied in this field, not one gives that list in full. Here it is, and each row states honestly what is known and what is not yet.

Sealed packs of yufka move along the white conveyor belt in Ermelo
The belt in Ermelo
Not one producer in this field shows its production. These two clips do: a white modular conveyor carrying sealed packs, and a flow wrapper feeding folded packs under the film. It proves scale and hygiene, not taste. That is why it sits here and not on the product pages.
Who buys it
- Çiğköftem
- Ekmekçi
- Tatlıses çiğköfte
- İstanbul çiğköfte
- Öz çiğköfte
Plus shops, kebab houses and wholesalers in ten EU countries.
