Pomegranate Molasses & Molasses — Nar Ekşisi & Pekmez, Delivered UK-Wide

Few ingredients transform a dish as quickly as pomegranate molasses. Known in Turkish as nar ekşisi, this thick, glossy, ruby-dark syrup delivers a deep sweet-and-sour tang that brightens salads, meze, marinades and stews. At Turkish Online Market, the UK's Turkish online food and grocery market, you'll find authentic pomegranate molasses alongside traditional grape and carob molasses (pekmez) — pantry essentials in Turkish, Kurdish, Cypriot and Middle Eastern kitchens.

What Is Pomegranate Molasses?

Pomegranate molasses is made by slowly reducing pomegranate juice into a concentrated syrup. The result is intensely fruity, tart and lightly sweet, with a syrupy consistency. A small drizzle adds layers of flavour that lemon or vinegar simply can't match, which is why it has become a favourite of home cooks and chefs far beyond the Mediterranean.

How to Use Nar Ekşisi

• Salads: The classic move — whisk it with olive oil for a tangy dressing, or drizzle over the shepherd's salad çoban salatası and gavurdağı.
• Meze: Spoon over hummus, muhammara, lentil köfte or grilled aubergine.
• Marinades & glazes: Brush onto chicken, lamb or kebabs for a sticky, caramelised finish.
• Stews & soups: A splash deepens the flavour of slow-cooked dishes.
• Dips: Combine with olive oil and herbs for a quick bread dip.

Traditional Molasses (Pekmez)

Beyond pomegranate, Turkey has a long tradition of pekmez — molasses made from grapes, mulberries or carob. Naturally sweet and rich, grape pekmez is a beloved winter food, often eaten with tahini for a comforting breakfast spread or stirred into milk and yoghurt. Carob and mulberry molasses are prized for their distinctive deep flavours. Turkish Online Market stocks these traditional molasses so you can enjoy them just as families have for generations.

Tahini and Molasses — A Classic Pairing

One of the most loved Turkish combinations is tahini mixed with pekmez. The nutty richness of tahini balanced against the natural sweetness of grape molasses makes an irresistible spread for fresh bread — a nostalgic breakfast for many. You'll find both ingredients ready to add to your basket at Turkish Online Market.

Storing Molasses

Pomegranate molasses and pekmez keep well thanks to their high concentration. Store them in a cool cupboard, and once opened, a spot in the fridge helps maintain freshness. Always use a clean spoon, and give the jar or bottle a gentle shake or stir if any natural separation occurs.
