Kadayıf Collection

Pistachio Hasır Kadayıf Fıstıklı Hasır Kadayıf

₺1,900 / kg

Hasır — meaning wicker or lattice — describes a more elaborate preparation of kadayıf in which the shredded wheat strands are woven or layered to create a structured, patterned surface rather than the flat, uniform base of düz kadayıf. Filled generously with stone-ground Gaziantep pistachios and pure ghee butter, Hasır Kadayıf offers a more complex crunch in every bite — more surface area, more texture variation, and a visual elegance that makes it as compelling to look at as it is to eat.

What Sets It Apart

Hasır's Distinctive Weave

🧺

Lattice Weave Structure

Unlike flat düz kadayıf, the hasır form involves weaving or layering the shredded wheat strands into a structured lattice. This creates more surface area exposed to heat — resulting in a more even, more pronounced crunch throughout, and a visually striking cross-hatch appearance.

🥜

Pistachio at Every Level

Stone-ground Gaziantep pistachios are integrated throughout the hasır layers as filling, and applied fresh as a vivid green topping. The lattice structure means pistachio peeks through the weave, making the filling visible and integral to the product's visual identity.

✨

Maximum Texture Complexity

The wicker weave creates pockets and ridges that hold syrup differently from a flat surface — some areas remain crisper, others more syrup-rich. This variation produces a more complex, layered eating experience that rewards attention with each successive bite.

The Craft Behind It

Hasır: The Art of the Wicker Weave

The word hasır in Turkish refers to wicker or matting — the traditional woven material made from reeds or straw. Applied to kadayıf, it describes a preparation that transforms the fine shredded wheat strands from a simple flat layer into a structured, woven form. The technique requires more skill and patience than standard düz kadayıf, and the result is both visually and texturally more complex.

At Saytad, our Hasır Kadayıf is made by carefully arranging the tel kadayıf strands into their characteristic lattice form before cooking — a process that must be done with precision to ensure even heat distribution and a consistent crunch throughout. Generous Gaziantep pistachios are worked into the filling, and the whole piece is cooked in pure ghee until deeply golden.

Finished with a precise application of syrup and a bright pistachio topping, Hasır Kadayıf is at once more rustic and more refined than its flat counterpart. It is a product that rewards the curious palate — one that signals, from the moment you see it, that something more considered has been made.
