together with the quality approach of Reis, marketed under

industrial product. The garlic processing plant established at
Taşköprü aims to meet this demand. At the first stage, the
plant operates , with overall annual production capacity of
2000 tons ,within 1500 square meters of enclosed area, its 22
processing machines and 5 auxiliary equipment, featuring;

forced aeration,

WHY TASKOPRU GARLIC?
This is because that Taskopru Garlic features highest organic
ferrous, sulfide and aroma content, in addition to its
qualitative characteristics that make it the best garlic in the
world. It is distinguished from other types of garlic with its
superior features like its special smell, taste and size based on
the structure of the soil it is cultivated and not having any
hormonal supplement. Taşköprü garlic is known with the
smooth and standard size of its head in reasonable
dimensions, composed of plump and sound cloves, and
especially with its standardized quality and composition and
also with the characteristic of not losing these features for a
long time. Reis/Sarmoni & Sarlife is the main garlic supplier of
the prominent food corporations of our country.
It is the first time that a type of
garlic-Taskopru Garlic- has been
exported to USA, Russia,
Germany, United Kingdom, France,
Spain, Israel, Ireland and Nigeria as an
industrial product.
NO SMELL DUE TO PEELING GARLIC, NO TEARS ON THE
EYES DUE TO ONION.
Sarmoni Garlic Integrated Plants, incorporated with Reis A.S.,
operating in Taskopru, in Kastamonu for 10 years is the first of
its kind in Turkey. Garlic and onions peeled and packaged
automatically, without human touch, meet rawmaterial
needs of plants for industrial consumption in general. Besides
they have been put on the market of markets as a part of the
project of “Products Making Life Easier.
The per-capita consumption of garlic in Turkey is very low. It is
basically because of its smell and difficulty in peeling.
According to the result of the questionnaires we conducted,
the product is especially preferred by the working woman.
They think the consumption of this product in houses will
increase thanks to its easy consumption. In the light of
impressions, we put the peeled garlic and onion to the market
shelves with no additives. Not only will the garlic be crowned
but also the per-capita consumption will increase, as the he
consumers trying to eat a healthy diet in comparison to the
past.
The shelf life of these products, packaged with no additives, is
3 months. If conserved in deepfreeze, they will remain fresh for
a year.
