1.1 lb
$4.99
With origins dating back to 18th century Turkey, Turkish Delights – called “Lokum” in Turkey and the Middle East and “Loukoúmi” in Greece - are gel-based confections made with cornstarch and sugar syrup, sometimes with special flavorings, and oftentimes chopped nuts or shredded coconut. Square in shape and dusted with icing sugar, these dense, chewy candies were once considered a rare delicacy in the Ottoman Topkapi Palace and enjoyed only by the European elite. Today, Turkish Delights are classic and popular Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Southeastern European sweets. Koska is the largest producer and exporter of Lokum in Turkey and still uses the original, traditional family recipes for these candies. Koska Turkish Delight Rose (Güllü Lokum) is wonderful with coffee – or as a palate cleanser with water before dessert. These delicately natural rose-flavored sweets are even better when shared with family and friends! A classic confection during Ramadan and Eid and for births and special family celebrations, our Turkish Delights Rose are eminently shareable. Koska Turkish Delights are also available in Plain, Hazelnut and Pistachio flavors. And, in two variety packs: Hazelnut, Pistachio and Coconut – and Mixed (Rose, Lemon, Orange and Mint). Each box contains 45 pieces. Store in a cool, dry place.With origins dating back to 18th century Turkey, Turkish Delights – called “Lokum” in Turkey and the Middle East and “Loukoúmi” in Greece - are gel-based confections made with cornstarch and sugar syrup, sometimes with special flavorings, and oftentimes chopped nuts or shredded coconut.
