Brand Idea
Istanbul Baklava


Which city makes the best baklava? Wrong question. It’s not about who makes it best. What truly matters is perception, ownership, differentiation, and cultural communication. Karaköy Güllüoğlu tells the story of a family from Gaziantep bringing the culture of baklava to Istanbul. Today, we take this essence embedded in the brand's DNA and strengthen it. We polish it and carry it into all communication tools. We systematize it, making the story captivating. We turn every ingredient the brand uses into a communication tool.

Brand Story


Istanbul is a place with 40 layers. One layer is Anatolia, another is Europe. It is a bit of the East, a bit of the West. It’s by the sea, in the forest, and on the plains. It’s all four seasons in one day. It has dozens of neighborhoods, each unique. It resembles a building rising layer by layer, yet its flavor is one. With 20 million people, 5 million households, and just as many stories, its heart beats as one. It is Rome, it is the Ottoman Empire, it is Turkey. A multi-layered civilization; a vast history where each layer of pastry offers a distinct taste.
