A Turkish pantry, shelf to your table.

Dried fruit, spices, olive oil, tahini, and pekmez sourced the way a good bakkal picks them — by hand, by season, by who grew it. No shortcuts, no fillers, just what a Turkish kitchen actually keeps on hand.

Meet Jesus

Started after one too many suitcases full of pekmez.

I fell for Turkey on my first trip there — the corner bakkals, the breakfast spreads, pistachios that actually taste like something. I started Lil'Turk Shop for two kinds of people: Turkish families in the U.S. who miss the products they grew up on and can't easily find here, and everyone else who's never had real pul biber or good tahini and doesn't know what they're missing.

We're sourcing our first batch now: pistachios from Gaziantep, pul biber from Şanlıurfa, pekmez from Hatay. Sign up below and you'll be the first to know when the shelves go live.
