Tarik Emrullah

My goal is to bridge the gap of cultural divide by bringing traditional ingredients to the modern eater in accessible packing. Starting my business in 2016, I focused on importing the best organic and natural products from Turkey. I have since expanded into forging for and sourcing the highest quality ingredients from around the globe. I’m most proud of our transparent sourcing, unique and custom packaging design, and the long term, growth-based partnerships that my team and I have with our current retailers. As the food industry is ever evolving, we are prepared to support our retail partners through expected and unexpected changes. We leverage relationships with our partners for commodities including olives, dried fruits, nuts, and other ingredients. We formulate and transform these items into unique offerings. Customer acquisition and retention is very high. After trying our products, experiencing customer support, and seeing our packaging – our customers stay with us.
