Grape Leaves in Brine

Grape Leaves in Brine – Tender Texture, Natural Color & Authentic Mediterranean Flavor

Product Overview

Grape Leaves in Brine are a signature Mediterranean specialty, valued for their tender structure, natural olive-green color, and subtle acidity. Carefully harvested from select vineyards at the optimal growth stage, these leaves are preserved in high-quality brine to maintain their flexibility, aroma, and natural flavor. Ideal for preparing dolmas and stuffed grape leaves, they are a staple ingredient in Eastern Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and European cuisines.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply ISO 22000-certified Grape Leaves in Brine, sourced from leading cultivation regions in Turkey’s Aegean and Tokat areas. Each leaf is hand-selected, cleaned, and packed under strict hygienic conditions to preserve authenticity and taste. Available in Sultana and Tokat varieties, our leaves are offered in bulk, retail jars, or catering-grade packaging — ensuring reliability and freshness for every market.
