Golda Katmer | Crispy Pistachio & Cream Pastry

Katmer is one of the most celebrated specialties of Gaziantep — and even among baklava lovers, it stands apart. Where baklava is layered and syrup-soaked, katmer is a single, paper-thin pastry folded around a generous filling of freshly ground pistachios and kaymak (Turkish clotted cream), then cooked on a griddle until the outside is shatteringly crisp and golden.

In Gaziantep, katmer is traditionally eaten for breakfast on special occasions — wedding mornings, celebrations, family gatherings. It is not an everyday pastry. It is the pastry you bring out when something deserves to be celebrated. The contrast of textures is what makes it extraordinary: a shattering crisp outside, a soft and creamy pistachio filling inside, and the natural sweetness of fresh kaymak melting through every bite.

Made by Golda in Gaziantep since 1936. Ready to eat — no heating required. Best enjoyed at room temperature or very briefly warmed in a pan on the lowest heat for 1-2 minutes. Do not microwave — it will destroy the crisp pastry layers.
