About Salat and Bunge

Salat. Generic name of vegetable oil, flavor of the foods

Salat has been introduced to Turkish cuisine in 1930's and had been the name for vegatable oils for a long period of time. Salat, was produced as sunflower oil in Berrak Oil Factories in Istanbul Balat, that became a brand which was associated with taste and naturalness in a short time. Salat never compromiced it's quality even during the World War II when people experienced troubles in production and distribution of commodities and continued the production without interruption.

In 1996,Özdoyuran Family bought the brand and moved it to its new production facility in Tekirdağ in 1969. From this time on, sunflower oil in Turkey got the name of "Salat". In 70s and 80s,kitchens of Turkey came to life with Salat flavor and people looked for sunflower oil with the name of "Salat". However, after the economic crisis in Turkey, production of Salat was stopped completely at the end of 1990s. However, the name of Salat has kept it's place in minds as the generic name of sunflower oil and called together with taste and health.

As Bunge, we acquired the brand Salat to bring together consumers with the quality and taste they longed for and we started production with Sunflower, Corn and Canola oil types in one of the most modern vegatable oil production facility in Turkey.

With the integration of traditional taste of Salat and the high quality standards of Bunge, Salat will continue to add flavor to dining tables as it once did.
