A part of Karaköy, the commercial center of Istanbul, since 1949: Karaköy Güllüoğlu...
It is known that the first person in the Güllü family, who has been making baklava since the 1800s, was Hacı Mehmed Güllü, who is known as "Güllü Çelebi" in Gaziantep. Güllü Çelebi, who entered the confectionery profession in Gaziantep, went to Aleppo and Damascus, which are the most advanced regions in confectionery, in order to advance in the profession and stayed for six months and learned the intricacies of baklava. When he returned to Gaziantep, he set up a baklava counter.
Nejat Güllü, the eldest son of the Güllü Family, who has been practicing the baklava profession for generations, and his other son, Faruk Güllü, left the establishment in 1993 and decided to continue the profession on their own. Nadir and Ömer Güllü brothers stayed with their father in the establishment in Karaköy.
Nadir Güllü had dreamed of a factory-wide workshop since his childhood. When he took over the business, he rolled up his sleeves to realize this dream and established the baklava factory in Mumhane Street in 1996.
Karaköy Güllüoğlu, which started its operations in a small shop in 1949, now owns the world's first baklava factory, and at the factory at Mumhane Caddesi No: 171 in Karaköy, approximately 2.5 tons of baklava is produced per day.
We listened to the details of baklava and the secrets of success from Nadir Güllü, who is both the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Karaköy Güllüoğlu and a baklava master.
