Hamsiköy Sütlacı
Oven-baked village rice pudding
About the Venue
On the Zigana road connecting Trabzon to Gümüşhane, Hamsiköy is the homeland of Türkiye's most famous rice pudding. This cool mountain village, where travellers always stop, has become legendary for the dessert that bears its name. The secret of Hamsiköy rice pudding lies in the rich, creamy milk of cows grazing on the highlands and in the rice being simmered for a long time over low heat. Lightly browned on top in the oven, the pudding stands apart with its dense, creamy texture; served hot, its taste is something else entirely. In this modest spot amid the pine forests, a bowl of rice pudding eaten in the mountain air is the sweetest stop on a Black Sea journey.
