Craftsmanship in production, artistry in presentation, unwavering quality, and strong roots these form the foundation of our sweet story that has continued since 1978…
Mastery Passed from Generation to Generation, a Legacy for the Future!
With Respect for a Half-Century Heritage…
Yaşar Murat from Gaziantep began his journey by working as an apprentice for the region’s renowned baklava masters Burhan and Zeki İnal right after finishing primary school. Over time, he became a skilled craftsman and later a minor partner in the very place where he had started. However, Yaşar Murat soon decided to open his own shop
and thus began the sweet story of Ağam Baklavaları…
1978
Half a Century
Of Honored Heritage
Traditional Handmade Craft
The Beginning of a Sweet Dream…
Ağam, the dessert artist of İzmir, was founded in 1978 as the “sweet dream” of Yaşar Murat—one of the most respected dessert masters raised in Gaziantep.
Sharing his uniquely crafted desserts with the people of İzmir in a very small shop he opened in Karşıyaka under the name “Ağam”, Yaşar Murat quickly earned İzmir’s admiration, grew rapidly, and soon became a beloved and proud symbolic brand of İzmir.
With its deep-rooted history and profound craftsmanship, Ağam continues to inspire admiration today with its factory and galleries located in the İzmir Atatürk Organized Industrial Zone—remaining a delicious creation for the people of İzmir, for whom it exists.
The Secret of Flavor
Ağam’s only “additive” is 100% natural ingredients, extensive experience, and the respect we hold for our craft.
The real secret behind the flavor that grows with your love is hidden in your taste.
Natural Success
Pistachios harvested at the perfect season from Gaziantep’s Barak Plain, and pure clarified butter made from the milk of sheep raised in the Tektek Mountains of Urfa…
For natural success, we simply listen to nature.
Non-Negotiables…
Honesty in trade, quality in production, respect for our employees and environment,
and loyalty to the land where we were born and raised—these are Ağam’s unchanging principles.
Founded on these values by Yaşar Murat,
Ağam is known not only for its unique products but also for these guiding principles.
To us, the most important thing that makes us who we are is our non-negotiables.
