Since 1962: the Tefenlili family’s journey in nuts
From a small leblebi shop in Kaleiçi to a 12,000 m² facility in Gümüşler: milestones in Altıntop’s story of more than sixty years.
Packaged for the shelf, bulk for the counter, plus freshly ground Turkish coffee. Everything is roasted and packed in our own facility.

From our archive, 1962
Our founder Veli Tefenlili went into business in 1962; a few years later he was selling roasted chickpeas from a small shop in Kaleiçi. In 1970 his sons İbrahim, Ramazan and Hakkı Tefenlili joined, and step by step the shop grew into a nut producer.
Today our team of 125 produces nuts at our facility in Gümüşler, Denizli, for customers in Türkiye and abroad.
From sunflower seeds to pistachios, roasted chickpeas to cashews: our most popular packaged products.
