Description

Şalgam is a tangy, purple-red fermented drink from Adana in southern Turkey. Traditionally it is made by fermenting black (purple) carrot, often together with turnip, in water and salt, and the lactic fermentation gives it its sharp, sour and savoury taste. This mild (acısız) version has no chilli heat, so the sourness of the drink comes through on its own.

In Turkey şalgam is a classic partner for kebab, lahmacun and grilled meats: served ice-cold, its sharpness cuts through rich, smoky food and refreshes the palate. In some regions it is even mixed with ayran. Traditional şalgam can be slightly cloudy, so give the bottle a gentle shake before pouring and serve it well chilled.

The 1 litre glass bottle is made for the table: pour it into small glasses and share it with family and guests around a kebab or mixed-grill meal. Traditional recipes use a sourdough starter that can contain cereal (bulgur), so please check the label on the bottle for the full ingredient list, allergen information and storage instructions.
