Altınkılıç

Founded in 1957, Altınkılıç has grown into one of Turkey’s most trusted names in premium dairy. Sourcing milk from the fertile regions of Ezine, Thrace, and Balıkesir, the company has built its reputation on authentic cheeses such as Ezine White Cheese, Aged Kashkaval, Sheep’s Milk Cheese, and İzmir Tulum. With a commitment to purity, quality, and halal production standards, Altınkılıç expanded in the 1990s to include aged kaşar cheese and other value-added dairy products. In 2001, the brand pioneered kefir in the Turkish retail market—introducing a nutritious, probiotic-rich product that quickly became a household favorite. Today, Altınkılıç combines decades of craftsmanship with modern food safety certifications to bring authentic Turkish dairy traditions to families at home and abroad, including in the United States.
