Turkish cuisine boasts many beloved desserts, and Maraş ice cream stands out as a centuries-old tradition. Known for its stretchy texture and unique flavor from salep orchid powder, this authentic treat represents Anatolia's rich culinary heritage. But what happens when these traditional flavors meet modern artisan gelato techniques? At Peyra, we bridge the gap between Turkish ice cream culture and Italian gelato craftsmanship.
The Connection Between Traditional Turkish Ice Cream and Artisan Gelato
Traditional Turkish ice cream is prized for its natural ingredients and painstaking preparation. Maraş ice cream uses local ingredients like salep and goat's milk. Similarly, Peyra's gelato highlights premium Turkish flavors—Antep pistachio, pomegranate, honey, and figs—with an artisan approach.
