 These explanations on the roots of boyoz are confirmed by the presence of a pastry very similar to boyoz in the culinary traditions of such other offshoots of Spanish culture as Argentina, Chile, Peru and Mexico, where they are common especially in the diet of Sephardic Jews, usually with cheese and spinach fillings.In Spanish and Ladino languages, boyoz, spelled as "bollos", means "a bundle, a pack".Finally, until recently, all master bakers who prepared boyoz in İzmir were Jewish, and the present masters have all been trained by Avram Usta, whose name is echoed to this day in the commercial arguments adopted by some of these bakers, who market the "Boyoz of Avram Usta".
