Our specially curated gift selection, featuring traditional flavors from Antalya and prepared in coordination with the Antalya Governorship for the COP31 Climate Summit, was featured on A Haber, one of Türkiye’s national news channels.
As Antalya hosts the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31), preparations to welcome international representatives and distinguished guests have brought the city’s cultural and gastronomic heritage into the spotlight.
At Ansu Gıda, we are proud to contribute to this occasion by presenting a selection of traditional flavors that reflect Antalya’s rich culinary identity, local agricultural heritage, and long-established production traditions.
Our specially prepared gift selection, developed under the coordination of the Antalya Governorship through our Antalya Reçelcisi brand, was introduced to a wider audience through national television coverage.
Traditional Flavors of Antalya Prepared for World Leaders
Since 1989, Ansu Gıda has combined traditional recipes with modern production methods, preserving the distinctive flavors of Antalya while introducing them to new generations and international markets.
For this special occasion, we have brought together products that represent the region’s agricultural diversity and culinary traditions.
The selection includes traditional preserves made from Antalya’s characteristic bitter oranges and bergamot, as well as Karyağdı pears from Korkuteli. These distinctive flavors are accompanied by tahini produced from Manavgat’s golden sesame seeds, traditional molasses, and pomegranate molasses associated with the Side region.
Each product tells a different story about Antalya. From the distinctive aromas of Mediterranean citrus fruits to the region’s traditional fruit preserves and sesame-based specialties, the selection highlights the richness of local ingredients and the craftsmanship behind their production.
Rather than presenting these products solely as food items, our objective is to introduce the cultural traditions, regional identities, and production heritage that make them unique.
Special COP31 Gift Boxes Inspired by Antalya’s Heritage
The specially designed gift presentation brings together traditional flavors in glass packaging and wooden gift boxes.
The choice of materials reflects our intention to combine a refined presentation with environmentally conscious packaging considerations, in keeping with the broader themes of the climate conference.
Every element of the selection has been considered as part of a meaningful gift experience, from the combination of products to their presentation and connection with Antalya.
Through this approach, we aim to offer international visitors more than a collection of regional specialties. We want to share a memorable introduction to the city’s culinary heritage, local agriculture, and tradition of hospitality.
The project also demonstrates how traditional food products can contribute to cultural promotion when they are presented with a clear sense of place and identity.
Ebru Kocaacar Shares the COP31 Preparations with National Media
Ebru Kocaacar, a second-generation representative of Ansu Gıda and Member of the Board of Directors, shared insights into the preparation process and the inspiration behind the special selection.
During the news coverage, she highlighted the importance of presenting products inspired by Antalya’s and Anatolia’s longstanding culinary traditions, while also considering the environmental sensitivity associated with the conference.
For Ansu Gıda, this international gathering represents not only an opportunity to participate in Antalya’s preparations for a major global event, but also an occasion to contribute to the international recognition of the city’s local values.
The initiative and Ebru Kocaacar’s remarks were also covered by Anadolu Agency in its report published on November 7, 2026.
