Production Process

The production process begins with the collection of raw milk sourced from trusted producers and EU-approved farms in the Thrace Region. The collected milk is transported to the milk collection center in Lüleburgaz. After the necessary checks are carried out there, it is shipped to the main factory in Istanbul.

Before the milk that arrives at the facility is taken into production, it undergoes another round of inspection. At this stage, the milk's compliance with quality standards is assessed and it is made ready for the production process.

Before the raw milk is taken into the production line, it undergoes physical clarification and cooling processes. This completes the initial preparation required for product safety and production quality.

The milk is brought to the appropriate values according to the type of product. The production balance required for yogurt, ayran, butter, and cream products is established at this stage. All of the milk used in milk powder production is sourced from EU-approved farms; the practice of pooling/mixed milk collection is strictly not used in milk powder production.

The milk undergoes pasteurization and homogenization processes using modern production equipment. This stage ensures that the products have both reliable safety and a balanced texture and flavor profile.

The fermentation process is applied for fermented products such as yogurt and ayran. At this stage, Ateşoğlu's traditional production philosophy comes together with its modern production infrastructure.

The finished products are packaged under hygienic conditions. The packaging process is carried out in a way that preserves the products' freshness, safety, and shelf quality.

The packaged products are delivered to customers within Istanbul. Ateşoğlu's exclusive focus on the Istanbul market provides a significant advantage in terms of freshness and distribution control.
