After the death of proprietor Sevim Isguder, a fifth generation of marzipan makers have taken over the small Istanbul shop, Bebek Badem Ezmesi, whose fame extends to beyond Turkey’s borders
Meshur Bebek Badem Ezmesi was established 116 years ago in Istanbul during the Ottoman era, before the Turkish Republic even existed.
According to the book 'Istanbulum: Tadim-Tuzum, Hayatim ' by Turkish-Greek author Meri Cevik Simyonidis, Mehmet Halil Bey came to Istanbul to study. While in the city, he fell in love with Anastasya and the two set about convincing their families to give their blessing.Simyonidis learned of the story directly from Mehmet Halil Bey’s daughter, Sevim Isguder.
Now the shop is being run by the fifth generation of the family, who quit their own careers recently in order to continue the legacy of their great aunt Sevim Isguder. Cousins Ismet Eymen Isguder, 38 and Eda Altug Ayartepe, 41, are actively involved in the day-to-day operations of the one-of-a-kind shop that has no branches or franchises.
Meshur Bebek Badem Ezmesi’s signature boxes can be filled to order with marzipan, pistachio paste, or a mixture of both.
