Traditional grape molasses production in Manisa
Overview
In the Selendi district of Manisa, local farmers have commenced the traditional production of molasses as the grape harvest approaches its conclusion.
The process involves crushing grapes in pools to extract juice, which is then filtered and treated with specialized molasses earth to clarify the liquid and lower acidity. This juice is boiled in large copper cauldrons for several hours to achieve the necessary consistency. In the Selmanhacılar neighborhood, producers like 80-year-old Veli Güneş continue to use organic grapes to maintain this labor-intensive cultural tradition, which provides a vital nutritional source for the winter season.
