About Baglama Strung Dried Figs

Baglama figs (from the Turkish bağlama, "to tie") are whole Sarılop figs threaded onto a natural cord in a garland or wreath — a presentation style that predates modern packing and remains a hallmark of authentic Aegean dried figs. The strung format lets air circulate during the final cure and produces an eye-catching, rustic product that stands out on specialty shelves.

As a grade, Baglama uses good-quality whole Sarılop selected for the strung presentation rather than for the strict size uniformity of Lerida. The result is a distinctive artisanal line with strong demand in delicatessens, ethnic-food channels and premium gift assortments, particularly around the winter holidays when whole-fig garlands are traditional gifts across the Mediterranean and Middle East.

For export, garlands are boxed to protect their shape, and the same fruit is available in bulk cartons for buyers who prefer to string or repack themselves. As with all Turkish figs, responsible Aydın packers apply per-lot aflatoxin testing and food-safety controls for EU and Gulf markets, and organic options are available.
