The Green Pistachio of Gaziantep

Our pistachios are grown on the red, fertile soils of Gaziantep and Urfa, where the Mediterranean and Mesopotamian soils unite: more specifically the district of Nizip and Birecik, on both banks of the Euphrates river, where the widespread cultivation in Turkey has originated from. The Antep pistachio cultivars are unique because of their chemical structure and the specific climate and soil conditions on which they grow. The Antep pistachio is a Mediterranean variety of pistachio that is cultivated since antiquity in the same southeastern Turkish regions and differs from round international varieties thanks to its intense taste and high fat content.

Take a look at our Şura Kuruyemiş facilities in Türkiye where thousands of tons of pistachios are hulled every year, dried under the Mediterranean sun, shelled and sorted precisely and carefully to be packaged for our partners in Italy and Europe.

Most of our trees are more than half a century old, with some of them reaching several hundreds of years.

Our pistachio is famous worldwide for its unmatched quality: Its spectacular taste, unique to Gaziantep pistachio and its immaculate aftertaste cannot be replicated by any other variety in the world due to the special, optimal conditions our trees reach in the ancient lands of the Euphrates valley. Most of our Antep pistachios are cultivated in the areas known as the Euphrates valley, the Barak plains, and Urfa plains, where the highest quality pistachios are obtained in the world due to the micro-climate and soil quality.
