Goosefoot Pickle by Bafra Foods: A Taste of Cyprus Tradition

Bafra Foods brings to the market a unique and traditional Cypriot delicacy: Goosefoot Pickles. This traditional flavor, rooted in the wild and natural growth of the Cypriot lands, offers a unique taste experience that connects you with the rich culinary heritage of the island.

The Story of Goosefoot Pickles

Goosefoot, a wild plant known locally as ‘mangallo’ in Greek and ‘gaz ayağı’ in Turkish, is the star ingredient of this unique pickle. Grown spontaneously across Cyprus, this thorny plant is carefully harvested before it becomes too prickly to handle. The process of making this pickle involves meticulous steps to ensure the perfect flavor and texture:

• Harvesting and Preparation: The leaves of the Goosefoot plant are carefully separated, and any thorns are delicately removed.
• Wilting and Cooking: After wilting for about two days, the leaves are then briefly boiled to soften them, enhancing their natural flavors.
• Pickling Process: The softened leaves are then jarred and preserved with a blend of vinegar and salt. This mixture sits for about two weeks, allowing the flavors to develop fully.

Culinary Uses of Goosefoot Pickle

In Cyprus, Goosefoot Pickles is more than just a condiment; it’s a staple that complements various dishes. It is commonly enjoyed with a drizzle of olive oil, adding depth and richness to its flavor. This pickle can also be used as:
