Maras coregi, a traditional bun from Türkiye’s Kahramanmaras province, has been granted EU geographical indication status, Agriculture and Forestry Minister Ibrahim Yumakli announced Mondayб Anadolu reported.
In a post on the Turkish social media platform NSosyal, Yumakli said the pastry is now the latest product from Kahramanmaras to receive EU registration, joining Caglayancerit Cevizi (walnut) and Maras Tarhanasi, a fermented specialty.
“With this, the number of our EU-registered products has reached 44,” he noted.
Yumakli added that the centuries-old culinary heritage of Kahramanmaras “continues to cross borders.”
According to details shared by the minister, Maras coregi stands out for its distinctive preparation, stone-oven baking, and traditional methods. The bun has long been a staple on tables during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
