Our history
From our grandfathers' legacy to the ambitions of new generations

1974
Al-Bab, Aleppo countryside · Syria
It began with a family
Our story began in 1974 in the city of Al-Bab, in the countryside of Aleppo, Syria, when our grandfather laid the first stone of a family journey bound to making tahini halva and tahini. The beginning was simple, but it was built on craftsmanship, care for quality and a commitment to an authentic taste that carries the spirit of tradition.

2nd generation
From father to sons
More than a trade
Over the years the story grew and the business expanded step by step, as experience passed from our grandfather to his sons, who carried on with full dedication and kept the values the family was built on. For us, making halva and tahini has never been just a trade — it is a family legacy and a responsibility we carry with pride.

2015
Mersin · Türkiye
Deep roots, new horizons
In 2015 our journey entered a new chapter as we began working in the Turkish city of Mersin, where we kept developing our business and widening our range while holding on to our roots and the inherited know-how of making tahini halva and tahini.
This chapter also brought natural virgin olive oil into our range — a step that reflects our drive to grow and diversify, and our wish to offer products that unite authenticity and quality.

Al-Bab · Mersin
Two cities, one family
Never far from our roots
Yet Al-Bab has remained a true part of our story: it is where our journey began, and the roots we cherish. Today we continue our work in Al-Bab, Syria, and in Mersin, Türkiye, holding on to our family heritage and moving towards a future of further growth.

Today
The third generation
A living legacy, an ambition that keeps growing
Today the third generation of our family carries this journey forward, bringing with it experience handed down since 1961 and building on a legacy that the grandfather began, the sons preserved, and the grandchildren continue with a modern vision and renewed ambition.
We believe that preserving our history does not mean standing still in the past, but building on it — developing our business, improving our products and keeping up with our customers' expectations, while holding on to the values that have been with us from the start.
Our story goes on, and our ambition grows day by day. We look forward to developing our facilities, widening our presence and taking our products to new markets, carrying our family's name and legacy to the generations to come.
From Al-Bab in Syria to Mersin in Türkiye, our journey continues with one family's will, a shared vision and the belief that the best is yet to come.
ROYAL FAMILYA legacy of authenticity, a quality that renews itself, and an ambition that grows from generation to generation.
