The Historical Journey of Turkish Delight

Derived from the Ottoman word 'rahat ul-hulküm', meaning "comfort for the throat," 'lokum' (Turkish Delight) has been known in Anatolia since approximately the 15th century. Turkish Delight became particularly widespread within the borders of the Ottoman Empire in the 17th century.

At the end of the 18th century, Muhittin Hacı Bekir created Turkish Delight by pressing it from hard sugars. Upon the request of Sultan Abdul Hamid I for a soft confection, a competition was held, which Muhittin Hacı Bekir won. Regardless of whether it was invented in the 15th or 18th century, it is undeniable 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' through an English traveler in the 18th century. Previously made with a mixture of honey or molasses and flour, the method of production and taste of Turkish Delight changed in the 17th century with the discovery and introduction of refined sugar, known as 'Kelle şekeri', 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 clotted cream, mint, vanilla, and ginger flavored Turkish Delights. The appearance of Turkish Delight should be specific to its type and maintain 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 Turkish Delights with chocolate and wrap them in special cellophane. These Turkish Delights pair wonderfully with coffee and are served in Turkish Delight holders designed for coffee accompaniments.
