Our Story: From Mersin to Toronto
Rooted in Tradition, Crafted with Passion
Our journey began over 25 years ago in Mersin, a coastal city in southern Turkey, where Şalgam was more than just a drink — it was a cherished family ritual. Passed down through generations, our recipe is a tribute to community, craftsmanship, and cultural pride.
İnci Şalgam started as a small family business, rooted in tradition and dedicated to using only the finest black carrots and a natural fermentation process. The bold, tangy flavor quickly became a local favorite, celebrated at family tables and gatherings.
Today, we bring that same tradition to Toronto — still handcrafted, still authentic, and still inspired by our heritage. One sip, and you’ll taste the story of where we came from and the pride we carry forward.
