Black Grape Pekmez: The Dark, Glossy Sweet of Breakfast
Black grape pekmez is a type of pekmez with a glossy, pourable consistency, known for being made by boiling down and thickening black grape must. Its color leans toward dark brown, and its distinctly sweet taste leaves a slightly caramel-like finish. Besides the breakfast table, it is also frequently used in desserts and baked goods.
Among Tufan Organik's pekmez varieties, black grape pekmez stands out for how well it pairs with tahini. In cold weather the pekmez may thicken; leaving the jar in lukewarm water for a while restores its fluidity. To keep the pekmez from sticking to the spoon, you can dip the spoon in hot water first.
