The Historical Journey of Turkish Delight

'Lokum', derived from the Ottoman Turkish 'rahat ul-hulküm', meaning 'comfort for the throat', has been known in Anatolia since approximately the 15th century. Turkish Delight became widespread within the borders of the Ottoman Empire, especially in the 17th century.

Turkish Delight was made from hard sugars by Muhittin Hacı Bekir at the end of the 18th century. Upon the request of Abdülhamit I for a soft confection, a competition was held, and Muhittin Hacı Bekir came in first. Nevertheless, whether invented in the 18th or 15th century, it is indisputable that Ali Muhittin Hacı Bekir was the person who mass-produced, popularized, and introduced Turkish Delight to Europe.

In Europe, Turkish Delight became known as `Turkish Delight` in the 18th century through an English traveler. Previously made with a mixture of honey or molasses and flour, the method of preparation and taste of Turkish Delight changed in the 17th century, thanks to the discovery and introduction of refined sugar, known as `Kelle şekeri` (head sugar), and especially starch into the country.

Today, many varieties of Turkish Delight are produced, including plain, hazelnut, pistachio, walnut, almond, coconut, orange, rose petal, strawberry, and lemon, as well as cream, mint, vanilla, and ginger flavored ones. The appearance of Turkish Delight should be specific to its type and retain its given shape; its texture should be elastic, capable of returning to its original form after being pressed with a finger, and should feel soft and slippery in the mouth.

In our Turkish Delight sets, we specifically use double-roasted, pistachio Turkish Delights. We coat these delights with chocolate and wrap them in special gelatin. These Turkish Delights pair wonderfully with coffee and are served in coffee-side Turkish Delight dishes.
