Muhlama is the delightful result of cornmeal, butter, and local cheese coming together slowly and patiently over low heat. With its stretchy cheese, buttery glow on the surface, and rich flavor, it is not just a meal, but an experience.
For foreign guests visiting Turkey, muhlama is:
• A unique taste that's unfamiliar but immediately loved
• A visual feast with stretchy cheese that demands a photo before eating
• The "warm and cozy" side of our breakfast culture
At Kovan Fırın, muhlama is made with:
• Real butter
• Organic Giresun cornmeal giving a satisfying texture
• Cheese that stretches in your mouth, with a subtle flavor
• Served alongside sourdough Kovan bread
In this form, muhlama is:
• A standout star on the breakfast menu
• A warm option during brunch hours
• An Anatolian classic that belongs on every tourist's "must-try" list
Slow to Eat, Fast to Love
Muhlama can't be rushed.
It cooks slowly, is served hot, and shared with bread.
Just like the people of the Black Sea region: genuine, hearty, and sincere.
At Kovan Fırın, muhlama is:
a recipe from the past, fitting perfectly on today's table.
