About 21 kilometres and a 30-minute drive from Trabzon’s main square under normal traffic conditions, visit a local family in Fındıklı Village. During this welcoming kuymak-making experience, you will not only taste one of the best-known dishes of Black Sea cuisine but also learn how it is prepared through hands-on participation. From the family home, enjoy views of hazelnut-covered hillsides, village houses and the wide green valley while discovering local hospitality and rural life in Trabzon.
During the preparation, your hosts explain step by step how butter, corn flour and kuymak cheese are used. Learn the correct roasting time for the corn flour, when to add the cheese and how to achieve the ideal consistency. All ingredients are included in the experience. After preparing the kuymak together, sit down to taste it and learn the important details of the family recipe. Then continue the conversation on the valley-view balcony with your choice of Turkish tea or Turkish coffee. You can ask your hosts about village life, family traditions, Trabzon food culture and everyday life in the region.
At the end of this Trabzon gastronomy experience, receive a small gift pack of corn flour and kuymak cheese so you can try the recipe again at home. Transportation is not included. Guests must arrange their own transportation to the family home near Fındıklı Village Mosque. The meeting point is located on the main village road and is shown clearly on the product page. You can use the Google Maps link to navigate directly to the location.
