ANATOLIAN HERITAGE

The History of Bıttım Soap

Bıttım soap is a traditional handmade soap closely associated with Siirt in southeastern Türkiye. Its history reflects generations of local craftsmanship.

The soap takes its name from bıttım, associated with the wild pistachio tree, also known as menengiç. Oil obtained from its fruits is traditionally used in soap-making.

Today, Bıttım soap remains a symbol of Siirt's cultural heritage and Anatolian artisan traditions.
