Yozgat Arabasi


Product Description and Distinctive Features:

Yozgat Arabaşı is a product consisting of both Arabaşı soup and separately made Arabaşı dough. The most significant feature that sets this soup apart from others is that it is consumed not with bread but by swallowing the dough along with the soup without chewing, especially during the winter season. Another distinguishing feature of Arabaşı is that the meat used in its production comes from naturally raised chickens, turkeys, or geese, either in a natural environment or on pastures, where they are fed with natural nutrients.

The history of Arabaşı, which has become integral to the province of Yozgat, dates back to ancient times. The fact that Yozgat is the first province that comes to mind when Arabaşı is mentioned is an indication of the soup's origin in Yozgat.
