Ishak Yılmaz, the president of Anzer SS, Anzer Çiçekli 1 Agricultural Development Cooperative, and an organic Anzer honey producer who fights against the sales of fake Anzer honey, returned from Paris with an award last month. This time, he visited Ankara and was hosted by Prof. Dr. Mehmet Haberal
Ishak Yilmaz, the producer of Anzer honey, achieved great success with the award he won at the Paris International Honey Awards (PIHA) 2024, despite the shadow of fake Anzer honey controversies. Anzer Honey was deemed worthy of high-quality awards by the jury's evaluations.
Anzer Honey Geographical Indication Certificate issued for our Cooperative for Anzer Honey, which was taken under protection by taking Geographical Indications with the initiatives of Rize Provincial Directorate of Agriculture in 2021, was delivered to our Cooperative President İshak YILMAZ by Rize Agriculture Provincial Director Murat GENÇ.
Rize Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry, which wants to prevent fraud in Anzer Honey, which has become the target of honey fraudsters, has launched the Anzer Honey Control application, which can check whether the Geographical Indication labels are fake or not.
Anzer Honey, which is considered the richest honey in the world in terms of content and natural diversity by all food authorities, is in the focus of honey fraudsters. Counterfeit honeys using the name, brand and labels of our cooperative threaten the consumer.
All honey sold by our cooperative is analyzed separately by Hacettepe and Ege University and then filled. Our cooperative does not have any website other than www.anzercicekbali.com.tr. Do not trust the website and people who claim to sell the honey of our cooperative.

Anzer Honey, which is produced in Anzer Plateau of our İkizdere district and is included in the records of the Ottoman period, was registered by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office as a result of the initiatives of the Rize Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry, and was deemed worthy of a geographical indication certificate.
